The link for "arborescent" links to an unrelated philosophical term. Either a clarification should be made on the page to which the link directs or a new page should be established for the botanical use of the word.

[edit] Merger

There is extra info on apical meristems at the other article, but probably not enough to justify having it's own page. If it was merged here it could greatly improve the article.(Million_Moments 21:09, 16 February 2007 (UTC))

I vote for not merging this with apical meristem. I was looking for information on meristematic tissue in general, in connection with developing information about intercalary meristems. The presence of a general page is, I think, a plus.Stipoid 11:27, 18 February 2007 (UTC)


No mention of the promeristem here, which is the least determined part of the apical meristem. Fuzzform 23:43, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

I Support the merger, though not strongly. At present there is too much duplication between the two pages and the Meristem page is not so long that it would be difficult to find information about apical meristems in it. Velela 20:11, 24 February 2007 (UTC)
