Anatomy

Summary of leaf anatomy (German)

Obere Epidermiszellen gleich gross wie untere. Verbindungs-Steg zwischen oberer und unterer Epidermis aus verholzten und nicht verholzten Zellen. Leitbündel im Verbindungs-Steg in der Mitte eingebettet. Leitbündelhülle nicht verholzt.

Summary of stem anatomy (German)

Umriss rund mit Rippen. Leitbündel in einer Reihe. Rechteckige Stützen. Kleine Interzellularen, oft dreieckig. Epidermiszellen verholzt. Chlorenchyma in peripheren runden, ovalen oder rechteckigen Gruppen.

Description

Culm-diameter 1-2 mm, wall large, radius of culm in relation to wall thickness approximately 1:0.5. Outline circular, with rips. 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 in a large, peripheral continuous belt (> 3 cells). Cells medium thick-walled. Girders square, rectangular or conic. 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. Cavities (intercellulars) between parenchyma-cells present, small, often triangular. Distinct cavities (intercellulars) in the protoxylem area of vascular bundles.
