- Semi-ring to diffuse porous; vessels predominantly
solitary, radial multiples of 2–4, clusters; vessels of two different sizes,
small-to-medium; vessels moderately few (b10 per mm2); perforation
plate simple; intervessel pits small, bordered and alternate; rays
homocellular, composed of procumbent cells; 2–5 seriate and rarely
uniseriate; small and narrow; b30 cells high; 6–10 rays/mm; axial
parenchyma paratracheal vasicentric, confluent, marginal and rarely
aliform; fibers thick and very-thick walled, non-septate and hexagonal
in outline; crystals in chambered axial parenchyma cells with a
