A bud of the perennial grass Schizachyrium scoparium is growing out into an intravaginal tiller (i.e. stem) within the subtending leaf sheath of the parent plant. Here, the bud has recently separated from its protecting prophyll. A bud growing extravaginally would have penetrated laterally through the subtending leaf sheath on the right.
