ABSTRACf Qualitative and quantitative wood features are reported for 38 species representing 22 genera, including the scandent genera Mendoncia and Thunbergia. Woods of Acanthaceae are characterized by relatively narrow vessels with simple perforation plates and alternate lateral wall pitting, septate libriform fibers, scanty vasicentric axial parenchyma, rays both multiseriate and uniseriate, ...

CAIU.QUJST, S.: Wood anatomy and relationships of Stackhousiaceae. Bot. J ahrb. Syst. t 08: 473-4BO. 1987. ISSN 0006-8152. Quantitative and qualitative features are described for five species of Stackhousia. The imperforate tracheary elements are all tracheidlike fiber-tracheids. Very narrow fusiform vessel elements are present. All other vessel elements are relatively narrow, and numerous per ...

Quantitative and qualitative data are presented on wood anatomy of root, basal stem, and upper stem of Montinia caryophyllacea. Anatomy of twig wood of Kaliphora madagascariensis is compared with these results, as is the data of Ramamonjiarisoa (1980) on wood of the genus Grevea. Features common to the three genera in wood as well as other portions of the plant are reviewed; these are consisten...

Wood of three species of Viviania from Chile was studied. The wood has growth rings, moderately grouped vessels, helical sculpture in vessels, fiber-tracheids with small pits, and various degrees of storying. Axial parenchyma and rays are absent, regardless of age of stem. These facts are in accord with close relationship to other genera of Geraniaceae s.l. Viviania differs from other Geraniace...
