- Diagnosis
- Growth ring boundaries distinct and marked by 1–2 rows of marginal axial
parenchyma cells. Wood diffuse-porous. Vessels circular or angular, solitary or mainly in radial multiples of 2–3 or rarely 4 or more vessels. Mean vessel tangential diameter ≤50 µm, 40–100 vessels per mm2. Axial parenchyma
both apotracheal diffuse and marginal. Some vessels filled with dark deposits. Rays of two distinct sizes, generally uniseriate, sometimes biseriate and multiseriate, with wider rays commonly 4–5-seriate. Average height 213.5 (50.7–471.5) µm (max. 46 cells). Helical thickenings common. Fibres generally thin-walled, septate fibres common. Prismatic crystals present in chambered cells. Rays homocellular, composed of procumbent ray cells. Intervessel pits alternate. Perforation plates simple.
