Clonal growth occurs in a high proportion of herbaceous plant species, but it is difficult to deal with in demographic transition matrix models. It is primarily a growth process, but in many cases gives rise to new individuals from the viewpoint of plant demography. In the present contribution, we review how clonality is treated in existing demographic studies of clonal species from the Central European flora. Demographers are avoiding clonal plants characteriszed by long lateral spread and tend to treat clonal growth not as multiplication but as a growth in size.
