The main stem is solid in the lower part, and channel or tubular in the upper part.
The coenenchyma is white, red-brown or bright red, and the tentacles are white.
The structure- and strength-giving sclerites of the outer layer of the coenenchyma are small, colorless or pale yellow spindles.
The sclerites of the medulla, on the other hand, are white.
