In most species of Aneimia and Mohria the bundles of the stem form a cylindrical network like that of the Polypodiacese. The stem bundles are concentric, as are those of the petiole and larger veins in all but Schizcea, which Prantl ((5), p. 23) states has collateral bundles through- out, except in the stem. The small veins have collateral bun-.
