[Fwd: [ geneontology-Curator requests-929957 ] vivipary]

[Felipe Zapata]

 From APWeb's Glossary:

Viviparous: of seeds, germinating before being shed from the parent  
plant, often also including plants that produce plantlets in the  
inflorescence.

Vivparous seeds are common in Mangroves (Rhizophoraceae).

What do you mean by non-vegetative vivipary? and would be the  
instances of this term?
