Phellogen is very active in the cork oak of Spain, but it occurs in nearly all woody plants. In such plants as button- wood (sycamore), in which the bark peels off in thin, flat layers, the phellogen layer is nearly uniformly active in all parts, while in many other cases there is very little uni- formity. In wahoo (burning-bush) it is in four bands, giv- ing rise to four corner wings. In t
