Summary edit

Description

Cross section: Pelargonium Common name: Storksbill Geranium Magnification: 100x

Unlike most herbaceous dicots, Pelargonium is capable of secondary growth in dermal and vascular tissues.

A cortex of parenchyma cells is separated from the stele by a well defined starch sheath. Immediately interior to the starch sheath is a heavy ring of red staining sclerenchymal perivascular fibers, that encircles and supports the underlying vascular tissues. Deep to this layer is a band of phloem and deep to this a zone of xylem. While Pelargonium produces a small amount of secondary phloem and xylem it may be difficult to differentiate from the primary vascular tissues.

The center of the stem is occupied by a pith of parenchyma cells that contain numerous starch storing amyloplasts.
