A tree. Wood grey, moderately hard, even-grained. Pores small 

 and moderate-sized, often oval and subdivided. Medullary rays very fine, 

 uniform and equidistant, very numerous ; the distance between the rays 

 much less than the transverse diameter of the pores. Medullary rays 

 traversed by numerous parallel, concentric, wavy lines, which have the 

 appearance of interrupting the rays, thus forming a succession of wavy, 

 concentric bands.
