Yeah, that's the sort of thing I was thinking of. I grew up around a lot of Scotch Broom, which fling their seeds rather violently when disturbed. But I removed the example because at that point I was talking about parts of plants rather than seeds. I don't actually know of an example of a plant hurling away a non-seed part of itself for budding, though I'd be surprised if it doesn't exist.

Those spider like plants, send a vine out with a plant. It takes time, weeks, but that's fast plant movement...

  Oh right, that's a great point. In fact, that's probably one of the most common forms of non-seed propagation. Strawberries, mint, blackberries, etc.
