gia, La Madera y Su Uso. 21:29.
Data from physical and mechanical tests of ten wood
species from San Pablo, Macuiltianguis, Oaxaca are pre-

1988. Tree angiosperms of Mexico, No. 1, Wood anatomy
of 28 species of Cosautlan de Carvajal, Veracruz (An-
giospermas arboreas de Mexico, Num. 1, Anatomia de la
madera de veintiocho especies de Cosautlan de Carvajal,

The wood anatomy of 28 species of 18 genera of the an-
giosperms is described in detail; each with a distribution
covering both pine-oak forest and tropical deciduous for-
est of the east of Mexico. The wood anatomical diver-
sity has been used for identification. The descriptions are
made with new knowledge and in the light of experience
in LACITEMA. The descriptions were modified and some
additions were made and most individual descriptions are
followed by ecological and uses notes. The wood anatomical
range encountered is presented in the descriptions for each
species.
