Abstract
In Chapter 4.4, several different schemes were presented for distinguishing cambial initials from their derivatives (Figs. 4.15, 4.16). According to these schemes, the cambial initials and their immediate derivatives, the xylem and phloem mother cells, were collectively referred to as the cambial zone. However, as pointed out in previous chapters, it is seldom possible to precisely identify cambial initials in histological preparations. Consequently, characteristics of the initials must, by necessity, be determined retrospectively by examining cambial derivatives in various states of differentiation.
