| Taxon: |
Subclass,
family, genus, or species name, or general descriptive category (for
example, diffuse porous, ring porous, semi-ring porous), when wood
type is unknown. Most of the scientific names listed in this column
are from A Utah Flora (Welsh
et al. 1987*1); the names of several plants not recorded in A
Utah Flora are from Arizona Flora (Kearney
and Peebles 1960*1). |

| Ring
Patterns: |
The
general appearance of the wood rings and the patterning of background
cells: |
| |
diffuse
porous: |
vessels
are of various sizes, are abundant or sparse, and are scattered throughout
the ring; there are no large vessels at the ring boundary, nor do
vessels grade from larger in the earlywood to smaller in the latewood |
| |
ring porous: |
vessels
are clearly larger in the earlywood and smaller in the latewood, with
an abrupt transition between the two; the wood has an obvious "ring"
of vessels just inside the ring boundary, often visible at low magnification
or with the naked eye |
| |
semi-ring
porous: |
vessels
gradually grade from larger in the earlywood to smaller in the latewood
throughout the ring |
| |
other: |
described
individually |
| |
none: |
no woods
rings present |
| Vessels: |
Present
or absent; abundant or sparse; how distributed within ring; comments
on size and/or shape; solitary, paired, or multiples; occluded; etc. |
| Resin
Canals: |
Present
or absent; this feature is unique to conifer woods. |
| Rays: |
Visible
or not visible at low magnification (50X or less), or absent altogether;
distinct or indistinct; continuous or discontinuous; etc. |
| Ring
Boundaries: |
Distinct
or indistinct, presence or absence of cork tissue, information on
earlywood and/or latewoods zones, light-reflectiveness, etc. |
