On the other side (the xylem side) new ves- sels, fibres, and parenchyma are also devel- oped (Fig. 328). The development of )~=^_,, these tissues begins in the inner and outer ^(____-3j=:^ layers of the cambium, and advances to- ward the central layers. It never hap- pens, however, that all the cambium lay- iv__==>x ers pass over into permanent tissues, there 1^ If always remaining one or a few meristem â '' -^ layers. 546.âA study of Figs. 326-328 will show the probable mode of development of the permanent tissues from the meristem tissue of the cambium. It is evident from a comparison of Figs. 326 and 327 that the phloem parenchyma is produced by the formation of several transverse parti- tions in each cambium cell, and it is prob- able that in many cases there is a direct conversion of cambium cells into sieve tubes. That the cambium cells may be converted directly into tracheides is evident from Fig. 326, and also Fig. 75 (p. 84). In Fig. 328 it is plain that the fibrous tissue {If) and tracheides if) have the same origin, and the indications are that even the large pitted vessels (gg) axe formed from cambium cells by the great increase in the diameter of the latter, the thickening of their vertical walls, and the partial or complete absorption of their trans- verse walls.
