Anatomy

Summary of stem anatomy (German)

Umriss rund oder oval. Leitbündel in einer Reihe. Epidermiszellen verholzt.

Description

Culm-diameter 1-2 mm, wall very large, radius of culm in relation to wall thickness approximately 1:0.75. Outline circular with a smooth surface. Culm-center hollow and surrounded by a few thin-walled, not lignified cells. Epidermis-cells thick-walled all around. Large vascular bundles arranged in one peripheral row. Chlorenchyma absent. Sclerenchyma in a large, peripheral continuous belt (> 3 cells). Cells thick-walled. Small sclerenchymatic sheath with 1-2 cells around vascular bundles. Largest vessels in vascular bundles in lateral position. Largest vessel in the bundle 20-50 μm. Distinct cavities (intercellulars) in the protoxylem area of vascular bundles.
