Some Structural Differences in the Wood of <I>Boswellla serrata</I> Roxb., <I>Garuga pinnata</I> Roxb, <I>Lannea coromandelica</I> Merr. And <I>Spondias pinnata</I> Kurz

Abstract

Anatomical studles carried out on Boswellia serrata Roxb, Garuga pinnata Roxb., Lannea coromandelica Merr. and Spondias pinnata Knrz. with a view to ascertaining the diagnostic value of radial gum canals and cell inclusions indicate that features like size and frequency of gum canals, nature of epithelial cells and cell inclusions i e, occurrence of crystals and silica are likely to be of diagnostic value in identification of woods of these species.
