Anatomy

Summary of stem anatomy (German)

Umriss rund oder oval. Leitbündel diffus verteilt. Kleine Interzellularen, oft dreieckig. Epidermiszellen nicht verholzt.

Description

Culm-diameter 2-5 mm, center full, radius of culm in relation to wall thickness 1:1. Outline circular with a smooth surface. Culm-center full, containing unlignified cells. Without cortex/cylinder separation. Culm without endodermis but with a sheath of lignified cells around the center. Epidermis smooth. Epidermis-cells thin-walled all around. Large vascular bundles distributed in the whole culm. Small or rudimentary vascular bundles mainly at the periphery. Chlorenchyma present, continuous peripheral belt with unlignified round cells (like a large cortex). Sheath around vascular bundles absent or not lignified. Vessel arrangement radial. Largest vessel in the bundle 20-50 μm. Cavities (intercellulars) between parenchyma-cells small, often triangular.
