| description | Caesalpinia gaumeri Greenm is a highly prized species for construction of houses and poles in the Mayan region of Yucatan. In order to contribute to technological knowledge of its attributes and suggest potential uses of wood, were described its anatomical features and physical properties. This work was conducted in four trees in a tropical deciduous forest of Yucatan. It was found that the wood is dark brown color in the heartwood and chestnut in the sapwood, wire is cross, pronounced veining, texture and brightness are average, diffuse porosity; the elements of vessel have simple perforation plates, small pits and inclusions; the rays are uniseriate and biseriate, extremely low and thin; the axial parenchyma is aliform and confluent; fiber medium and cellular wall extremely thick; heavy density and for volumetric contraction as medium; there is no clear transition between early and late wood. By the anatomic characteristic (rays extremely low, thin and abundant, fiber medium and cellular wall extremely thick and inclusions) and physical properties such as heavy density, the wood of C. gaumeri can be used in the development of ties, poles, staves, and crafts. The wire cross and rhomboidal crystal of the wood limits the use in carpentry. |

In order to contribute to technological knowledge of its attributes and suggest potential uses of wood, were described its anatomical features and physical properties. This work was conducted in four trees in a tropical deciduous forest of Yucatan.

Caesalpinia gaumeri Greenm es una especie muy apreciada en la construcción de casas y postes para cercas en la región maya de Yucatán. Con la finalidad de contribuir al conocimiento tecnológico de sus atributos y proponer usos potenciales de la madera de esta especie, se describieron sus características anatómicas y propiedades físicas. El presente trabajo se realizó en cuatro árboles de una selva baja caducifolia de Yucatán. Se encontró que el duramen es de color café oscuro y la albura de color castaño, el hilo es entrecruzado, el veteado es pronunciado, el brillo y la textura es media y la porosidad es difusa; los elementos de vaso son extremadamente cortos, tienen placa de perforación simple y punteaduras pequeñas e inclusiones; los rayos son uniseriados y biseriados, extremadamente bajos y finos; el parénquima axial es aliforme y confluente; las fibras son de longitud mediana y con paredes extremadamente gruesas; la densidad básica es pesada y la contracción volumétrica total es media; no se observa una transición clara entre madera temprana y tardía. Se concluye que por las características anatómicas (rayos extremadamente bajos, finos y abundantes, fibras con paredes gruesas a muy gruesas y la presencia de gomas) y las propiedades físicas de la madera (densidad), C. gaumeri se puede utilizar en la elaboración de durmientes, postes, duelas y artesanías, sin embargo, su aprovechamiento para carpintería y trabajos finos está limitado por defectos como el grano entrecruzado y presencia de cristales de tipo romboidal.
