At Y, Y, are large tracheal tubes, which were formed last, the narrow tubes near the periphery of the xylem being formed first. At the center of the root, within the circle of vascular buiidles, occur thin-waUed parenchymatous pith cells. {From Sayre after Frank.) Tracheids are undeveloped ducts having bordered pores and fre- quently scalariform thickenings. Medullary Rays are bands of parenchymatous cells extending radi- ally from the cortex to the pith (primary med. rays) or from a part of the xylem to a part of the phloem (secondary med. rays)..
