50) Populoxylon sp. (cf. Populus tremula L., 1753)

M a t e r i a l. Figured specimen HNHM-PBO

2008.191.2. (= 2 slides: tr + tg).

D e s c r i p t i o n. See Greguss (1969: 83, pl. LXXV, figs

1–5, legend p. 148).

N o t e s. This is a well preserved semi-ring porous wood with radially grouped vessels with simple perforation plates and alternate polygonal intervessel pits, and only uniseriate rays. Because of the lack of a radial section, it is not possible to confirm whether the rays are homocellular, similar to Populus L., or hererocellular, similar to Salix L. (compare Sakala et al. 2006). On the slide, there is a lettering “helvéti”.
