Abstract
THE wart structure of mature tracheids was first described by Kobayashi and Utsumi1 and by Liese2. It was observed to consist of small excrescences (warts) (0&03–0.04µ diam.) on the inner surface of the cell wall. Subsequent surveys of the occurrence of these structures showed them to be of limited taxonomic significance3,4.
