and Lepidodendroids, the parichnoi, as the primary lenticular structure, appear as paired structures on either side of leaf scars. The development and increase in the number of these primitive lenticels were key to providing a system that was open for aeration and gas exchange in these plants.

Structure and development

In plant bodies that produce secondary growth, lenticels promote gas exchange of oxygen, carbon dioxide,
