- Diagnosis
- pith heterogeneous with parenchyma cells
and supporting diaphragms. Diaphragms consist of brick-like
sclerenchyma cells. Sclerenchyma cells vertically regularly aligned.
Primary xylem endarch. Tracheids in primary xylem with annular,
helical and reticulate thickenings. Secondary xylem homoxylic,
with indistinct growth rings. Tracheids with uni- to triseriate
araucarian pits. Xylem rays uniseriate (rarely biseriate), homogeneous,
1–40 cells high. Cross-fields with 1 (up to 3), rectangular,
oval or round, simple, sometimes slightly areolate pits. Vertical
parenchyma cells and secretory cells absent.
