It was recently shown to occur for the first time without its primary cells in _Bienertia cyloptera_. It uses PEP carboxylase to fix carbon dioxide to form acids such as malate or aspartate and takes advantage of a layer of dense, thick-walled, cells that form a sheath around the vascular bundle called Kranz anatomy.

It eliminates most of the photorespirative effects of Rubisco, which allows plants using it to grow very quickly. FTP, name this photosynthetic pathway employed by many angiosperms, which is much more efficient than the C3 or CAM pathways.
