The photograph was produced using SEM and from this picture, it is easily
recognized and identified the existence of parenchymatous ground tissue, fibres, and vessels.
The empty area near three large vessels was phloem cell area, but these phloem cells was broken
during sample preparation. Vascular bundle was surrounded by parenchymatous ground tissue,
therefore, the wood material from this species is not comparable to the woods which produced
from both dicotyledons and gymnosperms species which are developed from the secondary
xylem. Generally, three types of parenchyma cells were found in this study, i.e. spherical,
rectangular and elongated cells. Near the large vessels, it was also founded several smaller cells
and grouped together like a cluster, which usually separated into two clusters. Referring to Lim
and Khoo [73] result, this component is mentioned as satellite bundles.
Further, the fibres component was distinguished and spread or scattered over the vascular bundles
and filled the area surrounded by parenchyma cells. Structure of fibres in this area was
similar to the common wood, which comprises of lumen, cell wall, and pith as well. Their
arrangement was also similar to normal wood structure. Phloem cells were distinguished as
strand with mostly triangular shape and located between vessels and fibres.
