"Portion of a cross section throughout the stem of Dracaena marginata. P, parenchyma of cortex. V, meristematic zone of the pericycle by the activity of which the stem increases in diameter, with the addition of new vascular bundles. M, mature vascular bundle. N, nearly mature vascular bundle. O, newly formed procambium strand from which a vascular bundle is to arise. B, beginning of a procambium strand by the division of cells in the meristematic zone. F, parenchyma of the fundamental tissue." -Stevens, 1916
