Microscopic Characteristics

Ceylon Cinnamon (powdered bark) (Cinnamomum verum) / (Cinnamomum zeylanicum Nees)Histology much like that of Cassia Cinnamon; bast cells are more abundant and the cells of the outer cork wanting; starch less abundant. It is possible to distinguish this cinnamon from the other two by the larger sclerenchyma cells and absence of outer cork and epidermal tissues.
