Wood and Bark Anatomy of Empetraceae; Comments on Paedomorphosis in Woods of Certain Small Shrubs

Wood and bark of 12 collections ofEmpetraceae representing three genera containing seven species (one with two subspecies) are analyzed with respect to quantitative and qualitative features. Empetraceae have vessels somewhat angular in transection, with scalariform perforation plates and scalariform to opposite vessel-ray pitting. Imperforate tracheary elements are all tracheids. Axial parenchy...

Wood and Bark Anatomy of Degeneria

Wood anatomy of the recently described Degeneria roseiflora differs from that of D. vitiensis by possessing narrower vessels, much thicker-walled vessels and fiber-tracheids, abundant uniseriate rays, and greater numbers of ethereal oil cells in rays. Because both large and smaller wood samples of D. vitiensis were studied, ontogenetic changes in the wood are presented and separated from those ...

Wood and Bark Anatomy of Myricaceae: Relationships, Generic Definitions, and Ecological Interpretations

Wood anatomy of the single spec ies of Cana comyrica (hitherto not studied) shows that it belongs in Myricaceae, although it differs from other genera in several respects (axial parenchyma grouped in bands or columns as well as diffuse ; Heterogeneou s Type I rays; more numerous bars per perforat ion plate). The latter two features are primitive for the family . The four genera (Canacomyrica. C...
