Wood white or yellowish-white or light-brown, sometimes with a dark 
irregular heartwood, usually close- and even-grained. Pores sometimes 
in white patches. Pith-rays usually fine, sharply defined. In Osmantlms 
the pores are in reticulate anastomosing patches. In Osmantlms and 
Linociera there are narrow concentric lines, the relationship of which 
to seasonal rings is very doubtful.
