In Chrysanthemum, the branches arise from underground portion of stem and grow horizontally at the beginning and later show oblique growth to come out of the soil and such branches are called suckers.
In Oxalis the stem and its branches have several nodes and internodes and always grow horizontally and spread fast to new areas and have leaves and roots at every node. Such stems are called Runners.
