Skewness and kurtosis of measured results exhibited that distributions of the fiber length andwidth departured from normal distribution. Three-parameter Weibull density function was used in thisinvestigation and the corresponding program was written with Turbo C. The results showed that profiles ofsimulated length and width histograms were similar to ones of measured histograms, and that there was apretty good agreement between simulated and measured means of fiber length and width. There was a littleinfluence on the simulated means from seed used in random number generator and number of simulatedvariables. That indicated that the simulation was steady when the seed and the number were altered. Differenthistograms can be obtained with different values of the location, the shape, and the scale parameter correspondingto different values of the minimum, the mean, and the standard deviation for fiber length and width. Thesimulation presented here can be used as a tool for the studies on the variations in fiber morphology.展开更多

This species showed similar wood structure to that species published in the same genus. This species has distinct growth ring boundaries, ring-porosity, distinct helical thickenings, simple perforation plate, nonseptate fibre, axial parenchyma, uni- or 2-5-seriate heterogeneous rays, and alternate intervessel pitting. It was observed that there is a slightly increase of fibre length as the diameter from the pith increases. However, the vessel element length remains more or less constant from pith to bark. Furthermore, the relationships between anatomical features and adaptability to desert environments were discussed.展开更多
