Abstract
The wood anatomy of Zabelia is described based on stem and twig samples. Wood anatomy supports the recognition of Zabelia - often considered to be congeneric with Abelia- as a distinct genus, on the basis of type of perforations, vessel grouping and porosity. Zabelia is compared with other woody genera of the Caprifoliaceae using selected wood anatomical features (Table 2). The presence of aggregate rays is a very distinguishing feature of Zabelia not found in any other genus of the Caprifoliaceae.
