Distinguish b/w collateral and bicollateral vascular bundles.
Collateral vascular bundles | Bicollateral vascular bundles |
Xylem and phloem are arranged opposite to each other, with xylem to inside and phloem to the outside. | In these types of vascular bundles, phloem occur both sides, externally and internally to the xylem |
These may be close (no vascular cambium between xylem and phloem) or open vascular bundles ( vascular cambium present) | These types of vascular bundles are always open. |
They are found in both monocots and dicots. | They are found only in some dicots |
