specially remarkable the presence of sclerenchymatous fibres in the phloem 

 of the larger leaf and flower-stalk bundles. In Cyclanthus cristatus two to 

 four vascular bundles become confluent ; cells with neu-like thickening 

 and also showing after-division are found in the ground-tissue of 

 Carludovica latifolia petioles. Peculiar sunken strips are found on the 

 epidermis of C. Laucheana. Many mucilage canals occur in the root of 

 C. lancifolia whose epithelium grows into the cavity. — G. F. S.-E.
