They remind me of tree rings and I can't help but think they're related. Did you ever get a chance to do more research on this? Any time I try all I get is articles on the vertical variagation. Would love to know if anyone has studied this please.

This is not a phenomenon of an "absorbed twin" but rather a benign tumor of the ovary, called a dermoid cyst because the undifferentiated cell develops into ectodermal tissues such as teeth, hair, sebaceous glands, etc. Weird but true. Why these tumors are always skin derivatives isn't known but probablyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2481706068105246695.post-71962004575570837382008-04-09T17:33:00.000-07:002008-04-09T17:33:00.000-07:00Great info & pictures.

I is the epidermis, and is essentially invisible (sometimes layer I is thick enough on the edges of the leaves that it shows up as small spots of green), and then II and III form zones like in monocots, but with irregular borders. <BR/><BR/>Does that help?mr_subjunctivehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14113199755474482747noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2481706068105246695.post-46096203766602044502008-02-26T09:25:00.000-08:002008-02-26T09:25:00.000-08:00Q, Mr S -- think perhaps I'm being dense but ........Q, Mr S -- think perhaps I'm being dense but .......<BR/><BR/>When you are talking about layers I,II,III in the beginning it appears you were essentially talking about leaf "zones". This in context with you explanation made sense to me. But later you mentioned in dicots that layer I forms the transparent epidermis (which is not the outer edge of the leaf but rather covers the entire leaf).
