<P> In many plants scales do not form over the bud , and the bud is then called a naked bud . The minute underdeveloped leaves in such buds are often excessively hairy . Naked buds are found in some shrubs , like some species of the Sumac and Viburnums ( Viburnum alnifolium and V. lantana ) and in herbaceous plants . In many of the latter , buds are even more reduced , often consisting of undifferentiated masses of cells in the axils of leaves . A terminal bud occurs on the end of a stem and lateral buds are found on the side . A head of cabbage ( see Brassica ) is an exceptionally large terminal bud , while Brussels sprouts are large lateral buds . </P>
