- Tracheids of secondary xylem narrow commonly 18–20 µm in diameter and long; quadrangular in shape. Tracheid pitting on tangential and
radial walls. Uniseriate pits average 8.8 µm on radial
walls, rounded. Tracheid pits on tangential walls small
(average 6–7 µm in diameter), rare, rounded. Pits on radial and tangential walls with circular pores (3–4.5 µm
in diameter). Rays numerous, elliptic, ovoid in shape,
short: one cell high and uniseriate. The density of rays
9–19 per 0.5 mm2.
