Descripteur : number of phloem strand

Type du descripteur : categorical

Must be described on developed fvb (not on the fvb near the apex).
It is preferable to describe the central fvb.

In some stems, the phloem of the subcortical zone is in one piece and that of the central zone presents two parts isolated by sclerified cells. Only some of Calamoideae have two strands.

[legend of the figure 6]
A fibrous vascular bundle (fvb) with its different characters. AL = auricular lobe; AS = auricular sinus; dcap = fibrous dorsal cap; MS = median sinus; RP = radiating parenchyma; TP = tabular parenchyma; vasc = vascular; vcap = fibrous ventral cap.
a: Sagittata;
b: Cordata;
c: Complanata;
d: Reniforma;
e: Lunaria;
f: Vaginata.

one strand in the subcortical and transitional zones and two in the central zone of the central cylinder

In some stems, the phloem of the subcortical zone is in one piece and that of the central zone presents two parts isolated by sclerified cells.
