Abstract
A comparative comprehensive study of the seasonal variations in anatomy would be very useful for uses of the timber (Sharma 1994). Cambial growth research is a productive field for future studies. The mechanism by which the vascular cambium originated in early plants is not fully understood. Factors such as rainfall, temperature and photoperiod directly affect the ontogeny of tissues. The influence on the development of vascular cambium (meristem that produces secondary vascular tissues) and its derivatives is closely related to the effects of internal influences—physiological, structural and genetic. Because of this interaction between external and internal influences, investigations of vascular tissues of the plant as a whole are necessary (see Munting and Willemse 1987).
