Anatomical characters of the stems of three infraspecific variants of Aquilaria- malaccensis Lamk. have been evaluated from a taxonomic point of view. The results revealed that the variants could be differentiated from one another with the help of their colour of woods, pore abundance, percentage of solitary pores, number of pores in radial pore chains, ray types, nature of fibre walls and fibre lengths. The studied characters are described using symbolic key. A key to the taxa based on these characters has also been provided.

Abstract


Anatomical characters of the stems of three infraspecific variants of Aquilaria- malaccensis Lamk. have been evaluated from a taxonomic point of view. The results revealed that the variants could be differentiated from one another with the help of their colour of woods, pore abundance, percentage of solitary pores, number of pores in radial pore chains, ray types, nature of fibre walls and fibre lengths. The studied characters are described using symbolic key. A key to the taxa based on these characters has also been provided.
