Point on a plant stem from which leaves grow (4)

I believe the answer is:

node

(Other definitions for node that I've seen before include "Thickened enlargement" , "Swelling - point of junction" , "Slight swelling on a plant where new leaves emerge" , "Lump at junction" , "growth" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
