Intercalary meristem
Ø They are not typical meristems since these cells later completely differentiated into permanent tissues.
Ø They are the cells with meristematic activity present between permanent tissue regions in the plant.
Ø They are portions of apical meristem that were separated from the apex during development by layers of differentiated tissues.
Ø Regions with intercalary meristems are the actively growing region behind apical meristem.

Intercalary meristem. Grasses have intercalary meristems located along the stems near the nodes. Cell divisions in this tissue push the stem upward. Grasses and other monocots have no lateral meristems so any lateral increase in size is the result of primary tissue cell enlargement, not cell divisions.
