- Wood with indistinct growth rings, diffuse porous. Vessels solitary and in
radial multiples of 2–3, in two diameter classes, more frequent wider vessels 100–150 μm, narrow vessels 50–70 μm, vessel density ≤5 per mm2, perforations simple, intervessel pits alternate crowded, ray-vessel pits with reduced borders to simple and often enlarged. Fibers septate and non-septate. Axial parenchyma scarce. Rays predominantly 2–3-seriate, with procumbent body ray cells and generally one marginal row of square
to upright cells. Rays with prismatic crystals and silica bodies.
