- Diagnosis
- Wood diffuse-porous. Narrow vessels (tangential
diameter b 100 μm), dominantly solitary or in short radialmultiples,
occurring in low density (b10 per mm2). Simple perforation plates.
Intervessel pits non-vestured, alternate of polygonal shape. Fibres
libriform, thin-walled, sometimes septate. Rays almost exclusively
uniseriate, rarely biseriate, exclusively heterocellular, composed of
procumbent cells, with 1–3 rows of upright and/or square marginal
cells. Axial parenchyma paratracheal vasicentric, sometimes aliform
confluent. Diffuse apotracheal parenchyma rare. Rhombic crystals
abundant in the axial parenchyma and in the rays.
