The wood of Myrceugenia glaucescens is described in its general and microscopic aspects. Quantitative data and photomicrographs of anatomical details are provided.
The miscroscopic structure is compared with literature references for the species, genus and family Myrtaceae.
The most important characteristics of the wood under study are the presence of simple, scalar-shaped and reticulated perforation plates, radially elongated ray-vascular scoring, and spiral thickenings in vascular elements as well as relatively scarce vasicentric tracheids. Heterogeneous type I rays, long vascular elements, apotracheal parenchyma, fibrotracheids, ornate scores and solitary pores are also important anatomical details of the wood, but with a large occurrence in the family
