 Chapter 7. Xylem.
The figures presented here were selected to illustrate aspects of xylem,
especially the conducting cells: tracheids and vessel elements. The legends were written to complement the
more complete discussion of xylem presented in Chapter 7 (pages 109 to 128)
in the textbook Plant Anatomy by J. D. Mauseth, published by Cummings
& Hathaway.
