- Diagnosis
- Growth rings distinct and deeply undulating. Semi-ring to weakly diffuse porous. Vessels solitary, paired, radial pores of up to eight pores, predominantly radially elliptical, and more or less circular in cross section. Perforation plates simple in the early wood and scalariform in the late wood. Intervessel pitting scalariform. Ray vessel pitting horizontally elongate to scalariform. Rays heterocellular uniseriate (470 %), occasionally part
biseriate (530 %); crystals absent. Fibres thin-walled, non-septate, in regular radial pores. Axial parenchyma rare.
