description Wood anatomy of 21 species of the deciduous dry forest at Tamaulipas, Mexico was studied with the aim of contributing to their anatomical knowledge and to compare their attributes with each other and with other deciduous dry forest of Mexico. The results showed growth rings, and 52% of them have diffuse porosity. Fibers were libriform with thick walls in 43% species and very thick in Ebenopsis ebano, Drypetes lateriflora, Randia sp. and Vachellia farnesiana. Paratracheal parenchyma predominated and rays were heterocellular, except for five species of Fabaceae. The wood of the three species which is described for the first time is distinctive: Harpalyce arborescens by its storied axial and radial parenchyma, Ocotea tampicensis by its narrow vessels and short fibers and Robinsonella discolor by its fibrotracheids and silica bodies in rays. When comparing the species' wood anatomy with their taxonomic groups similarities within groups but differences in cells size were found. Quantitative wood values are within those registered for the deciduous dry forest reserve at Chamela. However, the length of vessel elements and fibers is shorter and the vessel diameter is narrower in the species studied here. The anatomy of both communities is related to the type of climate that allows them to survive during the dry season that occurs annually.

Se estudió la anatomía de la madera de 21 especies de la selva baja caducifolia de Tamaulipas, México, con el objetivo de contribuir al conocimiento anatómico y comparar sus atributos entre ellas y con las de otra selva baja caducifolia de México. Los resultados mostraron anillos de crecimiento; 52% de las especies tienen porosidad difusa; predominan las fibras libriformes con paredes gruesas en 43% de las especies y muy gruesas en Ebenopsis ebano, Drypetes lateriflora, Randia sp. y Vachellia farnesiana; el parénquima es comúnmente paratraqueal y los radios son heterocelulares, excepto en cinco especies de Fabaceae. Las tres especies cuya madera se describe por primera vez se distinguen porque en Harpalyce arborescens el parénquima axial y radial es estratificado, Ocotea tampicensis por sus vasos angostos y fibras cortas y Robinsonella discolor por sus fibrotraqueidas y cuerpos de sílice en los radios. Al comparar la anatomía de la madera a nivel de especie con sus respectivos grupos taxonómicos, se encontraron semejanzas propias de los grupos pero diferencias en el tamaño de los elementos celulares. Los caracteres cuantitativos de la madera se encuentran dentro de los valores registrados para la selva baja caducifolia de la reserva de Chamela; pero las longitudes de elementos de vaso y fibras son más cortas y el diámetro de los vasos es más angosto en las especies aquí estudiadas. La anatomía de ambas comunidades se relaciona con el tipo de clima que les permite sobrevivir durante las temporadas de sequía que se presentan anualmente.
