The concentric rings are only evident in cross section. More characteristic is the structureof the wood (Fig. 344). The vessels{g) are irregularly distributed, not sep-arated by the medullary rays into distinctgroups. They are somewhat broader(up to 80 fx) than those of chicory, andhave much longer pores, resembling thoseof scalariform vessels. Less noteworthyis the absence of wood fibers, a,] these.
