Abstract
Fibres with intrusive cavities were present in Alchornea sidifolia, Al chornea triplinervia, Croton floribundus, Sapium glandulatum, and Seba stiania serrata (Euphorbiaceae). These cavities are the result of an i ntrusive growth of fibres which detour when they encounter a cellular obstacle, form either a fork or a concavity around the obstacle, and s ubsequently unite. The term 'intrusive cavity' is proposed for this st ructure.
