2000/2007

A hand-drawn scientific illustration depicting a cross-section of a stylized plant stem. The stem is composed of hexagonal cells with white walls, each containing a star-like structure. The background features concentric circles radiating from a central point, suggesting a microscopic view. The image includes annotations and labels, such as "Figure 193," indicating it's from a scientific or educational publication.
