54) Fraxinoxylon cf. Fraxinus excelsior L., 1753

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

2008.214.3. (= 3 slides: tr + 2*tg).

D e s c r i p t i o n. See Greguss (1969: 99, pl. XCI, fig. 4, pl. XCIII, figs 1–4, legend p. 151).

N o t e s. Both woods show prominent tangential bands of parenchyma in late wood and vasicentric to aliform (or even confluent) paratracheal parenchyma. We believe they both represent the slides from the same tree, so we range them under “ Fraxinoxylon cf. Fraxinus excelsior L.”. The transverse section illustrated by fig. XCIII/1 represents the cross-section of specimen HNHM-PBO 2008.214.3.
