German term

Achseln (botanic term, please, not the body part!)

Non-PRO German to English Science
I’ve transcribed the original German text (*) for contextual purposes below and my adaptation thereof (**)(i.e. my flailing attempts to get the terminology right), e.g. Brutkuppen, Achseln,

(*)Feuerlilie (Lilium bulbiferum): Auf sonnigen Höhen, an Waldrändern und auf Bergwiesen gedeiht die Feuerlilie. Ihre schmalen Blätter sind wechselständig und trage öfters in den Achseln kleine Brutkuppen. Blütezeit Mai bis Juli. Geschützt!

(**)Orange Lily; Fire Lily (Lilium bulbiferum): Thrives in sunny highlands, at the edge of forests and in mountain meadows. Its narrow leaves are alternate and often carry/ sprout /___ Brutkuppen buds in their indentations/cavities/hollows Achseln. Bloom from May to July. Protected!

Axilla bud= Achselknospe
Axillary- blattachselbürtig
offshoot(bot) = Ableger
But I will look later for Brutkuppe- gotta run!
