- Observation The three usual stem types of Phragmites communis can be arranged in a maturation sequence.
- Observation The vertical rhizome is intermediate in maturity and bears the aerial shoots.
- Observation The aerial shoot is the mature type, photosynthesizing and potentially flowering, short lived, and not normally capable of renewing the population.
- Mechanism The difference between horizontal and vertical rhizomes appears to be determined internally.
- Mechanism The difference between vertical rhizomes and aerial shoots appears to be determined by the environment.
