This atlas presents anatomical descriptions of the xylem, bark and
pith of 264 species belonging to 71 families. It highlights the
anatomical diversity of trees, shrubs, dwarf shrubs, woody lianas
and several of the prominent perennial herbs from the Eastern
Mediterranean region, with a focus on the island of Cyprus. The
island's topography and biogeographic history combine to provide a
wide range of habitats and diverse flora including widespread,
endemic, and ornamental species. The monograph for each species
includes a description of the anatomical structures of the stem and
twig xylem and the twig's bark and pith, as well as color
micrographs of double-stained sections of each of these plant
parts. These entries are accompanied by a photograph and a brief
description of the plant including stem wood density, height,
habit, flower, leaf and fruit characteristics, and a map showing
its geographic and altitudinal distribution in the region. Xylem
descriptions follow the IAWA lists of microscopic features for
hardwood and softwood identification. For bark and pith
descriptions, a new coding system developed by the authors is
applied. Lastly, the work offers a key for wood identification that
was developed to differentiate between groups of species by using a
small number of features that are unambiguous and clearly visible.
The atlas will be a valuable guide for botanists, ecologists,
foresters, archeologists, horticulturists and paleobotanists.
