Parenchymatous cells containing clusters of calcium oxalate 8-64µm in diameter, sometimes the crystal cells linked together with clusters arranged in rows. Cork cells rectangular or polygonal, thin walled. Sometimes the wall of the cork cells of older root barks unevenly thickened, less pitted. Fragments of secretory canals containing colourless opr pale yellow secretion. Starch granules abundant, simple granules polygonal or subspherical, 2-8µm in diameter, compound granules consisting of 2 to numerous components.
