When the young leaf can first be distinguished it is elevated very slightly above the level of the stem apex and its growing point is composed of a group of columnar cells. Sometimes, especially in Datura, there may be recognized near the center of this group of cells a single, somewhat larger one, which may be interpreted as a single apical cell, but this is not always Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Carnegie Institution of Washington.
