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 verholzt.Summary of stem anatomy (German)
Umriss rund oder oval. Leitbündel in mehreren Reihen. Epidermiszellen verholzt. Chlorenchyma in peripheren runden, ovalen oder rechteckigen Gruppen.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. Epidermis- cells thin-walled all around. Large vascular bundles arranged in 2-3 peripheral rows. Chlorenchyma absent. Sclerenchyma in a large, peripheral continuous belt (> 3 cells). Cells medium thick-walled. Sclerenchymatic sheath around vascular bundles large, 3 to x cells. Largest vessels in vascular bundles in lateral position. Cavities (intercellulars) between parenchyma-cells present, small, often triangular. Distinct cavities (intercellulars) in the protoxylem area of vascular bundles.Distribution map
