This type of central cylinder is very prcva- lent among the vascular cryptogams, and occurs also in certain species of I'rimula and Gunnera among the Phanerogams. In a cross section of an older stem of this type, numerous concentric fibro-vascular strands are to be seen imbedded in a matrix of fundamental tissue. Ihe origin- ally separate steles of the polystelic axis, may unite, according to Van Tieghem, to form a concentric annular stele, which is described as gamo- stelic. More recently, Van Tieghem'-* has returned to the subject of the central cylinder of the Equisctace;e. In his essay on I'olystely, he the central cylinder of E. ar,>ense^ E. pratense, as niedullated monostelic; E. limosum and E. litorale as astelic, and the aerial shoot of E hiemalc as gamodesmic.
