FIGURE 16. Drouetiella hepatica. A. Heterogeneity in trichome width between young and mature filaments, young filaments isodiametric to slightly cylindrical. B–C. False-branching very rare in young trichomes, only single false-branches observered. D–F. Sheath sometimes elongated and lamellate as in (E). G. Rapid cell division in meristematic zones sometimes caused twisted trichomes. H. Frequent necridia occur along actively dividing trichomes. Scale bar 10μm in 1000X magnification.
