Question

Distinguish between the following:
Interfasicular cambium and intrafasicular cambium

Answer 1

When the cambium is present between primary xylem and primary phloem, it is called intrafascicular cambium. When the cambium is present between two vascular bundles, it is called interfascicular cambium. Interfascicular cambium forms medullary rays, while intrafascicular cambium forms vascular elements, Xylem and Phloem.
