A lateral meristem (PO:0020145) that has as part a single layer of cambial initial cells (PO:0000295) and their derivatives, arranged orderly in radial files. The layer of active cells between xylem and phloem that gives rise to secondary tissues (e.g. bark) This term is applied to only two types of meristems: vascular cambium (PO:0005598) and cork cambium/phellogen (PO:0005599). A thin formative layer between the xylem and phloem of most vascular plants that gives rise to new cells and is responsible for secondary growth;nA lateral meristem in vascular plants, including the vascular cambium and cork cambium, that forms parallel rows of cells resulting in secondary tissues. |
