Abstract

The wood anatomy of Coccoloba cordata Cham. is described in its general, macroscopic and microscopic aspects. Quantitative and stereological data, as well as photomicrographs of the wood are also presented. The anatomical structure shows a great similarity with literature references to genus Coccoloba and Family Polygonaceae. Among the anatomical features, it must be pointed out the presence of rhomboedric crystals in septate fibres and a diffuse axial parenchyma formed by a series of large crystaliferous cells.
