Descriptor : vascular zone position

Descriptor type : categorical

In the subcortical zone, some fvb present a vascular zone included between the auricular lobes whereas in the central zone, this vascular zone is excluded as observed in some Trachycarpeae.

Must be described on developed fvb (not on the fvb near the apex).

[legend of the figure]
A fibrous vascular bundle (fvb) with its different characters. AL = auricular lobe; AS = auricular sinus; dcap = fibrous dorsal cap; MS = median sinus; RP = radiating parenchyma; TP = tabular parenchyma; vasc = vascular; vcap = fibrous ventral cap.
a: Sagittata;
b: Cordata;
c: Complanata;
d: Reniforma;
e: Lunaria;
f: Vaginata.
