ruptiliocarpon การใช้

• The wood of " Ruptiliocarpon " is light and used in cabinet-making, but is often overlooked by wood harvesters.
• When Hammel and Zamora described " Ruptiliocarpon ", two other detailed studies of its anatomy were published at the same time.
• At that time, Barry Hammel and Nelson Zamora named it " Ruptiliocarpon caracolito ", basing their description mostly on specimens from Costa Rica.
• These studies confirmed that " Ruptiliocarpon " was correctly placed in Lepidobotryaceae, but they were inconclusive about the relationships of Lepidobotryaceae to other families.
• The wood of " Ruptiliocarpon " was different from the wood of all others to which it was compared in having vestured pits on the walls of its xylem cells.
• They confirmed that " Ruptiliocarpon " was closely related to " Lepidobotrys ", but came to no firm conclusions on the relationships of this pair to other groups of rosids.
• One study found that the wood anatomy of " Ruptiliocarpon " was very much like that of " Lepidobotrys " and shared some traits with the wood anatomy of " Trichilia ", a member of the family Meliaceae.
