(a) In leaves, the tissues, which constitute the conduction system (i.e., vascular bundles) are situated near or at the centre of the midrib and generally form a ring composed of xylem (towards upper surface) and phloem (towards lower surface). The structure of large veins is more or less similar to that of a midrib. The small veins consist of only of few conducting cells. |
