Pericyclic or Perivascular fibre. Perivascular fibres are extraxylary fibre found in stems of dicots, located in the periphery of vascular bundles inside the innermost cortical layer as in Aristolochia and Cucurbita. Extraxylary fibres also include the fibre of the monocot whether or not associated with the vascular bundles.
