About this work
Cross-section of a shoot of an ancient dicotyledon - Casuarina equisetifolia subsp. equisetifolia
This evergreen plant grows in Australia and western Oceania Islands. Soft segmented shoots like an equisetum move away from the tree branches. The scaly leaves are arranged in whorls. This mount is valuable because the cross-section shows tissues of segmented shoots and scaly leaves together. Cross-section diameter: 1mm, cross-section thickness: 20 µm The authorial prepared mount, authorial technique of polychrome painted tissues
