Summary
The fine structure of the sieve element plastids ofBambusa vulgaris andSchizostachyum lumampao revealed the typical monocotyledonous type (P-type) with the cuneate proteinaceous bodies and lattice-like crystalloids; in addition, characteristically formed vesicles and tubulae could be observed. The diagnostic value of these plastids is also discussed.
