- Diagnosis
- Tree with dense wood consisting of tracheids
and parenchymatous ray cells. Secondary tracheids relatively homogenous
in shape and size in cross section. Bordered pits on radial walls
arranged contiguously in uniseriate, occasionally biseriate, alternate
rows. Pits not occupying the entire tracheid width; either circular or
flattened in the contact zone with the neighbouring pits above and
below; with a circular pit aperture. Rays uniseriate, less commonly
partly biseriate; mostly short, but possibly exceeding 10 cells in
height. Ray cells procumbent, with resin contents. Cross field pits 1–4,
rarely 5, small and round, with an oval to circular aperture.
