 cylinder from which new xylem is added internally, and new 

 phloem externally. Moreover, in trees and shrubs, i.e,, 

 plants which survive from year to year instead of dying down 

 at the end of one or two seasons, a cork-cambium is formed

 of growth in thickness can be studied as conveniently in 

 any dicotyledonous tree as in a pine or cypress. 



In Monocotyledons in a lily, for instance the arrange- 

 ment of tissues is different. The vascular bundles (Fig. 123) 

 are arranged in a number of irregular circles scattered 

 throughout the central parenchyma or ground tissue, which
