Notice alsothat there is no parenchyma in contactwith the xylem and phloem in the fibro-vascular bundles of a monocotyl, to supplymaterial for new growth, but they areentirely surrounded by a sheath of strength-ening tissue, whence such bundles are saidto be closed, and are incapable of furthergrowth by the addition of new cells.
