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

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.
