cross-section of the stele of Macfadyena unguis-cati

Macfadyena unguis-cati, the “cat’s claw vine”. The wedges of soft, food-conducting tissue (the yellow phloem cells) are embedded in the harder xylem tissue (with red walls). Such variant growth is common in flexible woody vines. Photo by Frank Ewers.
