- Diagnosis
- Growth rings indistinct in wood. In transverse
section, mean tangential diameter of secondary tracheids 45–65 μm;
mean radial diameter ranges 44–60 μm; rays up to 1.5 cm long
radially, separating 2–13 rows of tracheids. In tangential section,
uniseriate rays largely outnumbering partly biseriate rays; most rays
2–4 cells high, up to 15 cells high; ray density about 15 rays/mm2; ray
cells square to rectangular, mean tangential dimension between 25
and 30 μm, mean height between 32 and 43 μm. In radial section,
tracheid axial length 800 μm to 1.7 mm; mean diameter of radial pits 16–21 μm; mean diameter of pit aperture between 5.5 and 6.5 μm;
mean radial length of ray cells between 195 and 233 μm. Cross-fields
pits 1 to 5, commonly 2.
