Diagnosis
ReferenceDiagnosis
L. C. A. Martínez 2012Fragment of trunk composed by fundamental parenchyma cells and scattered fibrovascular bundles. Fundamental parenchyma consisting of isodiametric to amorphous cells, with intercellular spaces similar to a lacunar tissue. Stegmatas with spherical echinate silica-bodies in axial series. Tabular parenchyma 1 to 3 cells wide, sheathing the fibrovascular bundles. Fibrovascular bundles irregularly distributed, with a great reniform to subcircular sheath composed of sclerenchyma fibers. One phloem strand. Many and small protoxylem vessels. Metaxylem with a mean of 3 vessels (2–6) by bundle, with scalariform thickenings, and scalariform and simple perforation plates.
