Fig. 32, C shows a diagrammatic, longitudinal section of 

 that portion of the 3-year-old rhizome described above, in 

 which the boundary line between 2nd and 3rd year's growth 

 occurs — here, also, the thickly-drawn hnes indicate the 

 cork-layers, and the xylem is shaded. As is evident 'from
