thumb|right|Vegetative apomixis in Poa bulbosa; [[bulbils form instead of flowers]] In botany, apomixis is asexual development of seed or embryo without fertilization.

Apomictically produced offspring are genetically identical to the parent plant, except in nonrecurrent apomixis. Its etymology is Greek for "away from" + "mixing".
