plant morphology

Moran's root

The stems of Chinese cymbidium are mostly oval, arrow-shaped or water chestnut-shaped, and a few are spindle-shaped. In the past, it was customary to call the stem of the orchid pseudobulb, but Professor Pan Ruichi thought it should be called pseudobulb from the physiological and morphological point of view.

The leaves of Chinese cymbidium are generally linear-lanceolate, three to five times the width of the leaves, leathery and shiny. Leaves are composed of upper epidermis, lower epidermis and mesophyll cells. Mesophyll cells contain chlorophyll, which is an important organ for photosynthesis to produce nutrients.
