Abstract
The wood and bark anatomy of Acacia tucumanensis Gris. is described. Quantitative data from 33 different features of the secondary xylem are furnished, as well as photomicrographs and drawings of its structure. The presence of libriform fibres, simple perforation plates, paratracheal parenchyma and homogeneous rays, are important characteristics of the wood anatomy. The presence of septa in fibres and of rays with 3-4 cells wide, indicate the position of the species in the sub-genus Aculeiferum VassaI (= series Vulgares Benth.). Phloematic fibres in tangential bands, with 3-5 cells wide, and the irregular course of rays in the late bark, are the most conspicuous features of the bark structure. Photomicrographs of bark are also furnished.
