Anomalous secondary growth

Several dicotyledons show secondary growth that is different from normal  secondary growth. The deviating methods of secondary thickening are called  abnormal or anomalous secondary growth. 

e.g., Bougainvillea (Dicot)

Non-canonical Wnt signaling is initiated by the 

Wnt5a type (Wnt4, Wnt5a, Wnt5b, Wnt6, Wnt7a, and Wnt11).
