Primary xylem of Phaseolus vulgaris stem, with ring-like and helical secondary walls (close to bottom of slide). Secondary wall surrounds perforations at the two ends of an individual vessel member. Perforations are formed by localized removal of the primary wall.

Removal of vessel end wall with middle part consisting of primary wall material. Around the end wall margin, secondary wall material protects unthickened primary wall, which becomes hydrolyzed and disappear. This stage is shown below: the rim now surrounds a perforation. (Phaseolus vulgaris stem)
