- Diagnosis
- Wood diffuse-porous. Growth rings indistinct. Vessels
solitary or in short radial multiples of 2–3(6). Tyloses commonly present
in vessels. Helical thickenings absent. Perforation plates simple.
Intervessel pits alternate, commonly polygonal. Vessel-ray pits with
much reduced borders to apparently simple; pits rounded. Fibers
mostly septate, thin- to thick-walled, simple pits present on both
tangential and radial walls. Axial parenchyma rare to absent. Rays uniseriate
and multiseriate. Uniseriate rays rare. Multiseriate rays 2–5
cells wide, composed of procumbent cells with 1–11 marginal uniseriate
rows. Prismatic crystals common in upright and square ray cells,
and occasionally occuring in axial parenchyma cells; most
crystaliferous cells chambered.
