Abstract

Summary Both slime and raphides containing idioblasts occur within the cortex of inflorescence stalks of tropical orchids, frequently the walls of these idioblasts being slightly lignified, their lumen usually wider than that of the surrounding parenchymatous cells. In certain species the inner cell walls of these, as a rule, distinctly wider idioblasts are provided with very close, delicate thickening spirales. Such tracheoid idioblasts are interpreted as transformed parenchymatic cells.
