- Substantial tree trunks; pith, broad, heterocellular
with sclereid cells; sclereid cells are isolated and scattered within the
pith, and infilled with resin; cauline bundles, extremely numerous
(typically 100) around the pith circumference, mesarch, and nonsympodial;
leaf traces, helically-arranged, locally paired, and occluded
by parenchyma at the first tree ring boundary; departing leaf
traces show a complex of dividing strands on their inner surface;
marked tree rings.
