Not only the midvein and the lateral veins enter the central cylinder but also the bundles of the lower surface [vbls in the fig. 88). The bundles of the upper surface of the leaf and those of the intercarinal part of the ligule, again, descend into the lacunar system of the cortex but disappear immediately below the insertion point, and the internodal part of the stem accordingly is always devoid of interlacunar bast and vascular bundles. The bundles of the upper and lower surface of the leaf belong only to the basal fourth part of the leaf and the cross-section at th
