description An anatomical description for the leaf, secondary xylem and bark of stem and root of Hippocratea excelsa HBK. is presented. The bark of this species, popularly known as "cancerina" is traditionally used in the treatment of different diseases. Economically important compounds (e.g. guttapercha) are also obtained from the bark. The leaf has stomata of actinocytic type, its palisade parenchyma contains an abundance of intercellular spaces, and tannins and druses are found in the epidermic cells. Secondary xylem of stem and root presents diffuse porosity, solitary vessels, scanty paratracheal and diffuse-in aggregates apotracheal parenchyma, and multiseriate rays. Starch and other non identified compounds were observed in the secondary xylem parenchyma of the root. The root bark has abundant tannins, solitary crystals and fibers of two different forms: some with spindle-shaped and some others with blunt ends.

Se presenta una descripción anatómica de hoja, xilema secundario y corteza del tallo y de la raíz de Hippocratea excelsa HBK. La corteza de esta especie, conocida popularmente como "cancerina", es usada de manera tradicional para el tratamiento de diferentes enfermedades; además se obtienen de ella compuestos de importancia económica como la "guttapercha". La hoja tiene estomas del tipo actinocítico, el parénquima en empalizada contiene abundantes espacios intercelulares, en las células epidérmicas se encuentran drusas y abundantes taninos. El xilema secundario del tallo y de la raíz presenta porosidad difusa, vasos solitarios, parénquima paratraqueal escaso y apotraqueal difuso en agregados, y radios multiseriados. En el parénquima del xilema secundario de la raíz se observan almidones y otros compuestos no identificados. La corteza de la raíz contiene abundantes taninos, cristales solitarios y fibras de dos formas diferentes: unas puntiagudas y otras con puntas romas.
