. Botany of the living plant. Botany. 146 BOTANY OF THE LIVING PLANT Each develops from a single embryonic, or cambial cell. As it elong- ates, its pointed ends slide between those of other fibrous cells, taking a sinuous course. The result is that the cells of the strand interlock, and when a longitudinal strain is applied, the resistant rods press laterally upon one another, so that the greater the strain the more closely are they united. Mechanically such strands act like solid metal wires. Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally
