...Whatever the ecological conditions and putative habit of the ancestral angiosperm, the early-diverging lineages of extant angiosperms show a diversity of forms ranging from woody trees and shrubs (e.g., Amborellales, Austrobailayales, Chloranthales), woody vines (Austrobailayales, Magnoliales, Laurales, Piperales), and herbs with limited woody development (Chloranthales, Piperales) to herbs lacking wood and often linked to aquatic life forms (Nymphaeales; Feild and Arens 2005; Spicer and Groover 2010; fig....

...While some angiosperm taxa truly lack a secondary vascular cambium (e.g., monocots, Nymphaeales; Metcalfe and Chalk 1979; Carlquist and Schneider 2009; Carlquist et al. 2009), many angiosperms described as herbaceous do in fact show cambial activity, which may be limited to vascular bundles of the primary body....
