 prismatic thin-walled cells, 

 like those characteristic of 

 cambium. 



CAM'BlUM, a layer of meristem 

 belonging to the fibrovascular 

 system, between the xylem and 

 phloem. In exogeus it is 

 permanent, and forms the con-

 wood and inner bark, from 

 which the new growth of each 

 is derived. It was formerly 

 considered merely a viscid se-

 scending sap," but it is now 

 known to be composed wholly 

 of young, easily broken cells 

 tilled with protoplasm or for- 

 mative matter.
