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. Center hollow and surrounded by many large thin-walled, not lignified cells. Without cortex/cylinder separation. Epidermis smooth. Epidermis thin-, peripheral thicker-walled (lignified). Large vascular bundles arranged in one peripheral row. Small or rudimentary vascular bundles mainly at the periphery. Chlorenchyma present, continuous peripheral belt with unlignified round cells (like a large cortex). 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. Distinct cavities (intercellulars) in the protoxylem area of vascular bundles.
