- Diagnosis
- Wood diffuse-porous. Vessels dominantly solitary or in
short radial multiples of 2–4, occurring in intermediate density (5–15
per mm2). Simple perforation plates. Intervessel pits alternate, Tyloses
common. Rays commonly multiseriate, 2–3 cellswide, rarely uniseriate.
Rays exclusively heterocellular, composed of procumbent cells, with
1–3 rows of upright marginal cells. Axial parenchyma paratracheal
vasicentric to aliform confluent. Apotracheal parenchyma in the form
of 3- to 9-seriate, continuous, tangential, undulating bands, 2–4 per
mm, sometimes bifurcating and joining adjacent bands, forming an
anastomosed pattern, and separated by fibre bands of similar size.
