- Diagnosis
- Growth ring boundaries distinct. Transition
from earlywood to latewood gradual. Traumatic resin
canals present. Tracheids polygonal. Normal axial resin
canals absent. Axial parenchyma very rare and marginal
and diffuse. Rays uniseriate, rarely biseriate, or occasionally
partly biseriate. Rays’ height mostly 8–20 (1–62) cells.
In some samples rays with horizontal resin canals are common.
Tracheid pitting in radial walls (in earlywood) is uniseriate
and biseriate. Scalloped tori very clearly visible in
tracheidal pits on the radial walls. Rays heterogeneous
and irregular shaped ray tracheids common in 1–2 rows.
Horizontal and end walls of ray parenchyma cells are distinctly
pitted. Cross-field pitting is cupressoid and taxodioid
with 2–5 pits per cross-field. Tracheid pits on radial walls common, contiguous and slightly araucarioid at the
tips of tracheids.
