IDENTIFICATION DU BOIS
Description anatomique du bois
Wood diffuse porous. Occasionally vessels exclusively solitary (over 90%). Tangential diameter of vessel lumina 150 to 200 micras (medium). Vestured pits. Vessels per mm2 10 to 20 (abundant). Simple perforation plates. Vessel-ray pits similar to intervessel pit Axial parenchyma aliform. Occasionally axial parenchyma confluent. Axial parenchyma storied. Prismatic crystals in chambered axial parenchyma cells and/or in fibers. 3 to 4 cells per parenchyma strand. 4 to 10 rays per mm (medium). Rays storied. Rays commonly 2 seriate. Homogeneous rays and/or sub-homogeneous rays (all ray cells procumbent). Body ray cells procumbent with one row of upright and/or square marginal cells (Kribs-III). Non-septate fibers. Fibers with simple to minutely bordered pits.

DESCRIPTION GÉNÉRALE DU BOIS
Teinte
The sapwood is yellowish white. The heartwood is yellowish brown to chocolate brown, it is clearly demarcated. The silver figure is fine.
Index de Teinte (1 = Noir, 7 = Jaune clair)

Grain
Straight or slightly interlocked, sometimes with an influence on further processing operations.
Texture
Texture is reported to be fine to medium.
Luster
The wood surface is described as low in luster.
Durabilité naturelle
Very durable to decay; without preservative treatment. This species is especially suited for all the uses with risks of permanent or long-lasting humidification. Resistant to termites attack. Heartwood is resistant to Lyctus attacks.

1
Tensions internes de croissance
Residual growth stresses are absent.
Résistance à l'imprégnation
Nearly impossible to treat with a too much low penetration of the preservative substances.
