Wood Anatomy of the Neotropical Sapotaceae. XXIV. Ecclinusa

Abstract

Ecclinusa is a small genus of South American species characterized by their pale-brown, roseate, or sometimes rust-colored woods of moderate density (specific gravity averages 0.71). The small pores are in clustered-echelon arrangement or in laterally spaced files in echelon or radial arrangement. Ecclinusa is a silica accumulating genus, attaining concentrations of 2.05 percent in E. guianensis. Since its inception in 1839, the genus has remained remarkably stable and has accumulated a minimal amount of synonomy.
