Summary edit

Description

cross section: Liriodendron stem magnification: 400x

The vascular cylinder consists of a narrow outer ring of primary phloem, a middle single layered ring of vascular cambium and a deeper large ring of primary xylem. Phloem wedges of sieve tubes and companion cells are layered and interspaced with masses of thick walled sclerenchyma cells, and conspicuous caps of sclerenchyma top each wedge of phloem.

The cells of the deepest protoxylem are large, thin walled and separated from the pith by a starch sheath of dark staining parenchyma cells. Xylem cells of the later wood are smaller and thicker walled.

The vascular cylinder is extensively interrupted by radial bands of parenchymatous rays that serve in the lateral conduction of water and nutrients. Wide phloem rays taper to a few cells wide as they dip into the xylem. Narrow single celled rays also extend out from the pith.
