- Diagnosis
- Vessels mostly in multiple of 2 to 4, as well as solitary also. Solitary vessels circular to subcircular in shape,having diameter varying between 99 μm and 266 μm. The vessel frequency high and 10 to 15 per square mm. The vessel member length varies from 666 μm to 833 μm. The intervascular pit pairs alternate, bordered and quaternary. They measure 266 μm in diameter. Paratracheal vascicentric parenchyma. The medullary rays are homogenous in composition, consisting of Procument cells. Each medullary ray is 933 μm long and 66μm broad being normally 7 to 9 cells high. The medullary ray
frequency is 18 to 20 per square mm. Fibers are septate and storied. They are 1199 μm in height and 133 μm in diameter. Interfiber pits are simple and alternate. Tyloses are present.
