Wood Anatomy of Trees and Shrubs from China. V. Anacardiaceae

Abstract

The wood anatomy of twenty species belonging to eleven genera of Anacardiaceae native to or commonly cultivated in China is described in detail and a generic wood anatomical key is given. The wood anatomical diversity pattern partly agrees with the traditional classification into the tribes Anacardieae (Anacardium, Buchanania, and Mangijera), Spondieae (Choerospondias, Dracontomelon, Lannea, and Spondias) and Rhoideae (Cotinus, Pistacia, Rhus, and Toxicodendron).
