Second developmental stage of sieve tubes, companion cells, and phloem parenchyma. "B, c, companion cells, and d, a beginning sieve tube from c and d, respectively in A. The cross-walls in d are pitted; b, phloem parenchyma grown larger." -Stevens, 1916

Third developmental stage of sieve tubes, companion cells, and phloem parenchyma. "The pits in the cross-walls of the sieve tubes become perforations, and the nuclei gone from the cells composing the tube." -Stevens, 1916
