Abstract

The wood of Myrceugenia myrtoides Berg is analysed in its general and microscopic aspects. Quantitative data and photomicrographs of its anatomical structure are furnished. The most important features observed in the wood are those considered as predominant in Myrtaceae according to anatomical literature. For the identification, there must be emphasized the occurrence in the wood of simple perforation plates, elongated ray-vascular pit-pairs, spiral thickenings in vessels, vestured and bordered pits in fibers, very small and solitary pores in transversal section, and rays of heterogeneous I type.
