Abstract

Abstract

The wood anatomy of Euphorbia cotinifolia, E. pulcherrima and E. tirucalli, are described. The anatomical descriptions follow IAWA (1989). The following details mentioned in the literature to family Euphorbiaceae and genus Euphorbia were confirmed to the three species: radial multiple pores; simple perforation plates; medium size intervessel pits; elongated vascular-ray pits, axial parenchyma in series with 2-4 cells; rays with 1-3 cells wide; usually gelatinous fibers; and laticifers in rays.

Keywords: Cluster analysis; euphorbiaceae; wood Anatomy.
