standing in one row loosely one upon another,
seldom in two rows oppositely ordered, crassulae
absent, spiral thickenings in tracheids and
resin channels absent; wood parenchyma scattered
abundantly over the cross-section, horizontal
walls with nodular thickenings, rays uniseriate,
1-5, mostly 1-3 cells high, cells of variable
size and shape, with lentiform, long elliptical to
oval forms in cross-section, 20-60 pm, mostly
33 pm high, horizontal walls smooth (abietineous
pitting absent), tangential walls with juniperoid
