| Abstract: | Transections of rhizome revealed an outer zone and an inner zone separated by intermediate layers. Vascular bundles are collateral and amphicribral. Vessels are with spiral and scalariform thickening and scalarifonn perforation plates. The rhizome development is taking place by means of the primary thickening meristem (PTM), Secondary thickening meristem (STM) and division and enlargement of parenchyma cells in the ground meristem. The STM contain ray initials and fusiform initials, which are characteristic of cambium. Numerous starch grains and oil cells are present. in ground parenchyma. The resin canals are formed lysigenously. |
