Imperforate tracheary elements may be tracheids, fiber-tracheids, or libriform fibers. Rays may be uniseriate only, multiseriate only, or absent. Roots of some species (and sterns of a few of those same genera) have vascular tissue produced by successive cambia. The diversity in wood anatomy character states shows a range from primitive to specialized so great that origin close to one of the more specialized families of Cheno­ podiales, such as Chenopodiaceae or Amaranthaceae, is unlikely. Caryophyllaceae probably branched from the ordinal clade near the clade's base, as cladistic evidence suggests. Raylessness and abrupt onset of multiseriate rays may indicate woodiness in the family is secondary. Successive cambia might also be a subsidiary indicator of secondary woodiness in Caryophyllaceae (although not necessarily dicotyledons at large).

Control fire and weed threats to support stable populations of IP taxa. 1.2.3.1 Background Information Location: Northern Waianae Mountains Land Owner: State of Hawaii Land Managers: Department of Land and Natural Resources (DLNR) - Natural Area Reserve System (NARS), DLNR – Land Division, DLNR -Forest Reserve. Acreage: 300 Acres Elevation Range: 1000ft-3000ft Description: Manuwai Gulch is located in the northern Waianae Mountains. Manuwai Gulch and a series of adjacent, parallel gulches are drainages off the side of Kamaohanui Ridge, which extends eastward from Kaala. The Manuwai Management Unit (MU) consists of the fenced upper half of Manuwai Gulch, and a side gulch that drains into Alaiheihe Gulch, formed off the dividing ridge between Manuwai and Alaiheihe Gulch. The gulch drains to the Northeast. Most of the upper portion of the MU is within the Lower Kaala Natural Area Reserve (NAR); the rest is in the State Forest Reserve. Access to the MU is via a road through „Flying R Ranch‟ that connects to a 4x4 contour dirt road managed by The State of Hawaii. There is no formal easement for use of the roads through „Flying R Ranch‟. The ranch owner allows use of the roads and access is requested as needed through him. Helicopter access to the MU is available. Much of Manuwai Gulch is steep, and some of these steep areas are not accessible on foot without safety ropes.
