Summary

The purpose of this book is to gather together what is known of the morphology, development, activity, and physiological control of the cambium and to provide for each topic a comprehensive but select bibliography including important original sources. The scope of the book includes the production of cells within the cambium, but their differentiation into secondary vascular tissue is considered only in so far as it relates to events within the cambium. -- taken from Preface
