VEGETATIVE CELL TYPES IN SEED PLANTS
 
 
2.  Vascular cambial cell 1.  Fusiform Initials 

2.  Ray Initials

Between secondary xylem and secondary phloem A.  Procambium of fascicular regions and from parenchyma of interfascicular regions in stems. 

B.  Procambium between xylem and phloem and periclycle outside xylem in roots.

  • Self perpetuating in tangential direction
  • Formation of secondary xylem in interior radial direction
  • Formation of secondary phloem in exterior radial direction

3.  Cork cambial cell (Phellogen)
  • Between cork (phellem) and either phelloderm, cortex, or phloem tissue
  • Beneath surfaces exposed by abscission of leaves and stems and wounds
  • In stems, from either the epidermis, cortex, or phloem parenchyma cells
  • In roots, from the pericycle
  • Self perpetuating in tangential direction in some species; not in most
  • Formation of cork (phellem) in exterior radial direction
  • Formation of phelloderm in interior radial direction in some species
