Description The vascular pattern of the underground rhizome of ginger was studied at different stages of development. The internal structure of rhizome showed an inner zone and outer zone, separated by intermediate layers. Collateral vascular bundles were scattered and more in inner zone. The xylem vessels are with scalariform thickenings and scalariform perforation plates. Libriform fibres or rarely are met with. The phloem consisted of sieve tubes companion cells, parenchyma and fibers. Oil cells and canals are many. Numerous starch in their shape, size and number, were present in both sides of zone. The rhizome enlargement is by the activity of : (i) primary tern and procambial cells in the ground parenchyma, (ii) the ground parenchyma and (iii) the secondary thickening meristem form and ray initials are discrete. The presence of cambium like layers was an important feature found in ginger.
