Anatomy

Summary of leaf anatomy (German)

Obere Epidermiszellen grösser als untere. Verbindungs-Steg zwischen oberer und unterer Epidermis homogen verholzt. Leitbündel im Verbindungs-Steg in der Mitte eingebettet. Leitbündelhülle verholzt.

Summary of stem anatomy (German)

Umriss exakt dreieckig. Leitbündel in einer Reihe. Rechteckige Stützen. Kleine Interzellularen, oft dreieckig. Grosse, unregelmässige Intercellularen. Epidermiszellen aussen verholzt.

Description

Culm-diameter 1-2 mm, wall large, radius of culm in relation to wall thickness approximately 1: 0.5. Outline triangular, acutely. 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 in round, oval, square or rectangular groups. Sclerenchyma belt absent. Groups of sclerenchyma square or rectangular. Vascular bundles collateral closed. Sclerenchymatic sheath around vascular bundles circular large, 3 to x cells. Vessels arrangement in vascular bundles in lateral position. Largest vessel in the bundle 20-50 μm. Cavities (intercellulars) between parenchyma-cells small, often triangular. Cavities (intercellulars) between parenchyma-cells round, oval or radial. Crystals absent.
