Abstract
Lannea alata (Engl.) Engl., Anacardiaceae, a tree or shrub of East Africa, has roots covered with dense wool‐like hair. Cork cambium of the root produces a closely appressed cork from which the hairs (modified cork cells) arise. Cork cells and wooly hair are rich in sterol and carotin‐oid‐like compounds and have thick walls. It is suggested that the root wool plays a role in the soil‐air, soil‐water relations of Lannea alata and other plants.
