SUMMARY Longitudinal walls have a cuticle almost impermeable to water and sucrose and no ectodesmata. The interconnecting walls have plasmodesmata scattered over the wall; av. diam. 0.045 μm, appr. 11 per μm 2 , covering 1.65% of the wall area. This area, together with the cross‐sectional area of the cytoplasmic layer between plasmalemma and tonoplast, gives an impression of capacity for transport through the cytoplasmic part of the symplasm. The two areas were compared.
