Comment
Libriform fiber cells have simple (unbordered) pits while fiber tracheids (PO:0000355) have bordered pits. Many intermediate forms exist and are generally classified as fiber tracheids (PO:0000355). If both libriform fiber cells and fiber tracheids are present, the libriform fiber cells usually have thicker walls. Libriform fiber cells have a slit-like aperture toward the cell lumen, but no pit cavity.
