Tilia, also called lime or linden, is the long-standing teaching example of secondary growth in woody dicots. In a one-year-old stem, students typically look for a single growth ring of secondary xylem, the vascular cambium, secondary phloem with its flared rays, the cortex and the first cork layers beneath the epidermis. The section captures the change from primary to secondary structure.
Show this slide before the 3-year-old section so that students can see what one season of cambial activity adds. Low power gives the overall ring pattern; higher magnification reveals the cambium and the cells on either side of it.
Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, trading as ScienceLab, supplies this Tilia stem section from Ambala, Haryana. Buyers setting up a plant anatomy practical can source woody-stem, root and leaf slides together with a microscope in one enquiry. Find out more on the ScienceLab company profile.
