On the Occurrence of Warty Structures in Rattan 

 -  IAWA Journal, 20(4), p.389-393, 1999 .
<br/><br/> A study on cellular details of rattan stems by the resin casting method revealed the presence of wart-like structures as apposition on the cell wallofmetaxylemvessels.protoxylemtracheids,fibresandalsoparenchyma. They were apparent for some species, but not observed in others. Conventional SEM confirmed the presence of warts with a considerable variation in occurrence. Therefore they have only limited taxonomic significance for the rattans.
