On the outer side of the tracheary portion just described lies a mass of narrow, somewhat elongated, thin-walled cells, which constitute a true meristem tissue, to which the name of Cambium* has been given (c, c, Figs. 106 and 107).

The sieve tissue includes sieve tubes and cambiform or latticed cells. In the §xtreme outer border of the bundle is a mass of fibrous tissue {h, b, Figs. 106 and 107). The layer of starch-bearing cells just outside of the last- named tissue is the so-called bundle sheath. * Cambium, a low Latin word, meaning n liquid which becomes glutinous.
