To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Many cells have recently divided (this is necessary to keep pace with the growth in thickness of the vascular cylinder). Large intercellular spaces (Resin-passages) occur here and there, and are lined with small-celled epithelium. It must be remembered that in the present case the resin itself has been dissolved out by alcohol. Sections should, there- fore, be made from fresh material in order to see the secretion in situ. It appears amorphous and transparent ; it is soluble in alcohol, leaving... a slight residue. N. B. All resins are not so easily soluble. The secretion stains deeply with tincture of alkanet. Near the periphery of the cortex will be found a- layer of Cork and a Cork-cambium (cf. Stem of Elm p. 70), derived from cells of the cortex by their division by tangential walls. The cells of the cork have no cell-contents ; their walls are coloured yellowish brown with Schulze's solution. Treat a section with strong sulphuric acid. The walls of the cork retain their sharp contour.
