Fig. 14. Root of Cissus containing cells of . Rafflesia manillaiia. In the 
upper and lower parts of the figure are sections of xylem rays 
between which there is a medullary ray. The black spots are 
medullary ray cells with densely staining contents. The cells of 
Rafflesia are seen as a row running transversely across the 
center of the figure. They have deep-gray contents and 
prominent nuclei. X 155 
15. Strand of tissue of Rafflesia manillana in xylem of Cissus. The 
cells of Rafflesia can be distinguished by their deep-gray color 
and prominent nuclei. X 155 
16. Large mass of tissues of Rafflesia manillana in central cylinder of 
Cissus root. X 115

Plate XVIII. 
Fig. 19. Shoot of Rafflesia manillana at the stage when the growing point 
and vascular bundles are being differentiated. The vascular 
bundles show as dark streaks in the light colored tissue of the 
parasite. X 8.5 
20. Enlarged view of apex of shoot of Rafflesia manillana shown in 
figure 19. The dark tissue at the top of the figure is the bark

below this, is the cap which is formed over the growing point of 
Rafflesia. X 100
