Abstract

Infrared spectra (4000...250 cm-1) of thin sections (12μm) of woods from some pored gymnosperms of the order Gnetales and of a non-pored angiosperm of the family Winteraceae have been obtained and found to resemble closely the spectra of typical angiosperms rather than gymnosperms. These results indicate that the gross chemical composition of a wood is not related to its anatomical structure and show that chemically the Gnetales resemble angiosperms.
