The wood of five species of Zanthoxylum L. (rutaceae) with distribution in Mexico

Wood anatomy of five species of Zanthoxylum is described and compared. Qualitative and quantitative characters were analyzed through multivariate analyses to identify wood characters that permit to distinguish among species or to group them in the recognized sections within the genus. The species sh...

description Wood anatomy of five species of Zanthoxylum is described and compared. Qualitative and quantitative characters were analyzed through multivariate analyses to identify wood characters that permit to distinguish among species or to group them in the recognized sections within the genus. The species shared the diagnostic wood character for Zanthoxylum as of vessel wall thickness < 4 µm, intervessel pits < 6 µm, except for Z. hidalgense, libriform fibers, and parenchyma in marginal bands. The semiring-porosity distinguished the studied species of other Zanthoxylum species. The occurrence of druses in vessels and septate fibers are reported for the first time for the genus. The results of principal component analysis and the phenogram support the recognition of the five species studied based con a unique combination of wood characters; however, wood characteristics do not always support inclusion in the current sections. Zanthoxylum purpusii is recognized by the vertical traumatic canals and septate fibers; Z. arborescens, Z. purpusii and Z. liebmannianum are grouped by parenchyma in marginal bands and biseriate rays. Zanthoxylum hidalgense is the species with the wider vessels, wider and longer fibers as well as taller and wider rays while Z. arborescens and Z. liebmannianum show the narrower vessels and shorter and narrower fibers. Vessel diameter and length and diameter of fibers appear to be related to the vegetation type where the species studied are distributed.

En este trabajo se describen y comparan las características anatómicas de la madera de cinco especies de Zanthoxylum. Los caracteres cualitativos y cuantitativos de la madera se analizaron a través de análisis multivariados, con la finalidad de conocer si existen caracteres que contribuyan a distinguirlas o agruparlas en las secciones reconocidas para el género. Las especies comparten los caracteres diagnósticos del género: pared de elementos de vaso > 4 µm, punteaduras alternas con diámetro < 6 µm, excepto por Z. hidalgense, fibras libriformes y parénquima marginal en bandas. Las cinco especies tienen porosidad semianular que las diferencia de otras especies de Zanthoxylum con porosidad anular y en la mayoría porosidad difusa. Se registran por primera vez para el género, drusas en vasos y fibras septadas. Los resultados del análisis de componentes principales y el fenograma mostraron que las cinco especies son entidades diferentes con una combinación de caracteres única y que los caracteres de la madera no sustentan las secciones. Zanthoxylum purpusii se caracteriza por la presencia de canales verticales traumáticos y las fibras septadas; Z. arborescens, Z. purpusii y Z. liebmannianum se agrupan por el parénquima marginal en bandas y los radios biseriados. Zanthoxylum hidalgense tiene los vasos más anchos, las fibras más largas y anchas y los radios mas altos y anchos, mientras que Z. arborescens y Z. liebmannianum tienen vasos más angostos y fibras más cortas y angostas. El diámetro de los vasos y la longitud y diámetro de las fibras parecen estar relacionadas con el tipo de vegetación donde las especies estudiadas se distribuyen.
