Wood Anatomy of the Neotropical Sapotaceae. XXV. Ragala

Abstract

Ragala is a small genus of four species limited to the Guianas and the Amazon Basin. At one time its species were included in the genus Ecclinusa and another time both Ecclinusa and Ragala were a part of the very large genus Chrysophyllum. This study of the wood anatomy supports the separation of Ecclinusa and Ragala as well as their removal from Chrysophyllum. Ragala is a silica-accumulating genus. (Author)
