Gives brief notes on the properties and uses of the wood
of 48 commercial species of native trees in Cuba. These
notes are taken from the authors’ compilation entitled

species of Bursera (Burseraceae). Journal of the Arnold
Arboretum. 60(1):163-165.
Describes the wood anatomy of stem sections from
3 species (Bursera inaguensis, B. frenningae, and B.
simaruba) occurring in the Bahamas, Turks, and Caicos
Islands, and in the Fairchild Tropical Garden, Miami,
Florida. The woods showed similarities and differences.
The differences, which include variable vessel diam., pres-
ence of fibers in the secondary phloem, and arrangement of
oil cells and resin canals, were used to construct a key.
