Cells which have been completel3' snherized can be sepa- rated from each other b}- the gradual action of Schulze's macer- ating solution.* The color of cork-cells is not dependent npon the amount of the change of the wall into cork-substance. The walls of the cells in some species of willow are colorless, while those in other species are distinctly yellow; and yet the former have been as thoroughly changed into cork-substance as the latter. II. Cells of the Fibro-vasoular System, â Prosenchyma in the widest seuse. 252. The cells and modified cells of this S3-stem constitute the framework of a plant. In a few of the higher and in many of the lower plants it is barely if at all developed, the entire structure consisting, in such cases, of a mass of parenchyma covered by epidermis. But in most plants it exists as a skeleton 1 This fact has led to the belief that there exists in such cases .in interme- diate plate which differs in its character fi-om the rest of the cell-wall; but prolonged action of the same reagent, especially with warming, causes the cells to break down and ultimately form a disorganized mass.
