“…On average, the longest fibre was observed in P. midbraedii (331.22 µm±7.5) while the shortest fibre was seen in the macerated wood of D. oligophylla (150.98 µm±4.1). According to Maiti et al (2016), the presence of big vessels in plants makes them susceptible to drought and therefore may possess a deep root system to adapt to this condition. However, all studied species have relatively small vessels because they are not found in arid habitats.…”

“…LPWG (2013) also reported that morphology can be incorporated into legume phylogeny to address issues in comparative biology and classification. This was reiterated by Maiti et al (2016) who noted that in phylogenetic studies, the importance of the anatomical features of wood cannot be overemphasized. Given these submissions, only a few documented descriptions are available on the wood anatomical characteristics of African species including those of Leguminosae.…”

The present study examined the wood micro-characters of 18 species of the tribe Dalbergieae across 4 genera in Nigeria, following previously described methods by other authors. The species are distributed across all geo-ecological zones of the country but more abundant in the southern area which is characterized by higher precipitation. Findings clearly showed that members of the tribe Dalbergieae have more generic/tribal characteristics than delimiting characters. The species have certain unifying characters such as diffuse pore porosity, simple perforation plates, oblique to orthogonal vessel transverse wall inclination, prismatic/styloid crystals, and non-septate fibres. Vessels were longest and widest in D. saxatilis, about 197.89x104.23µm. On the contrary, the shortest was observed in D. hostilis - 67.62 µm while the narrowest was in D. oligophylla (28.4 µm). While fibre length was highest in P. mildbraedii (331.22 µm±7.5) and smallest in D. saxatilis (0.69 µm±0.0), the ray cells were longest in D. saxatilis (185µm) and shortest in P. santalinoides (41.82µm) respectively. We confirm here that anatomical studies should not be neglected in plant systematics, even though molecular approaches have been the focus in recent times.

“…Based on the results of Henrich and Bank (2006), T. sinensis has a light-colored young tree, but recent research shows that the color is darker. Several previous studies that outlined a comparison of species within the same genus showed that different properties, e.g., growth, phenology, physiology, and anatomy, were affected by the environmental conditions (Sint et al 2013;Maiti et al 2016;Beeckman 2016).…”

In terms of their anatomy, there is confusion in differentiating between Toona sinensis (Juss.) Roem. and Toona sureni (Blume) Merr. In order to validate the identification of both species, reconfirmation of the primary character differences is required. The objectives of this study are the reconfirmation of the anatomical properties to confirm their differences and the evaluation of the fiber morphology in terms of pulp and paper raw material quality. The results show that there were differences in the gross physical features of the bark and the color of the wood. The wood color of T. sinensis is red-brown and darker, while T. sureni is white-yellow, leading to the nomenclature red and white surian, respectively. An anatomical view of T. sinensis shows that the annual growth ring has indistinct boundaries as a primary distinguishing anatomical feature, while T. sureni shows that the annual growth ring boundaries are distinct. The annual growth ring allows the establishment of intra-annual past and present structure-function relationships as well as its sensitivity to environmental variability. Based on the results, both species have different anatomical properties, and both species are suitable to be used as a raw material for pulp and paper production.
