- Vessels lumina mainly solitary, numerous (120–230 mm−2)
and small, with tangential diameter up to 41 μm. Perforation
plates exclusively scalariform, with up to 23 bars.
Intervessel pits scalariform, occasionally transitional to
opposite or alternate. Fibers non-septate, with distinctly
bordered pits. Axial parenchyma diffuse, diffuse-in-aggregates
and scantily paratracheal. Rays 1–2(3) seriate, heterocellular
with 1–5 (up to 10) marginal rows of square and
upright cells, sometimes with equally wide multiseriate and
uniseriate portions. Vessel-ray pits scalariform, with much
reduced borders to simple. Crystals absent in axial parenchyma
and ray cells.
