We are working in the wood anatomical description of some species of Ecuadorian mangroves. However, we are dealing to recognize some anatomical features.
Can anyone tell me what is the name of these two features indicated by the arrows in the following anatomical images, we found same features in two types of mangroves Palo salado (Laguncularia racemosa .L) and Jeli (Avicennia germinans L.)
Kind regards,
The blue stained portion - Phloem strands; the uniseriate intercalary line is the sclereid infused growth bands (also called phloem bands) demarcating the parenchymatous section followed by xylem strands.
