 Chapter
15. Wood -- Secondary xylem.
The figures presented here were selected to illustrate aspects of the
cells and tissues of the wood of dicots and conifers. The legends were written
to complement the more complete discussion of secondary xylem presented in
Chapter 15 (pages 317 to 340) in the textbook Plant Anatomy by J. D.
Mauseth, published by Cummings & Hathaway.
For excellent photographs of whole trees, leaves and bark of most of the plants
illustrated here, see The Random House Book of Trees of North America and
Europe by Roger Phillips (1978).
