In M. antidesmifolia var. hirsuta, M. cinnamomifolia and M. latistipulata var. latistipulata, solitary vessels are dominant, while in M. antidesmifolia var. antidesmifolia, M. crassifolia, M. globulifera, M. latifolia, M. laurifolia, M. reticulata and M. triflara var. triflora, solitary or radial multiple pattern may be the dominant type- Solitary vessels are mainly oval in outline, rarely round in all Microcos species. Vessel elements have short to long tails up to 330 um. Average tangential vessel diameters range
