  • African Mahogany Anegre Birdseye Maple Black Walnut
    African Mahogany African Mahogany (Khaya) is a genus of seven species of trees in the mahogany family Meliaceae, native to tropical Africa and Madagascar. All species become big trees 30-35 m tall, rarely 45 m, with a trunk over 1 m trunk diameter, often buttressed at the base. The leaves are pinnate, with 4-6 pairs of leaflets, the terminal leaflet absent; each leaflet is 10-15 cm long abruptly rounded toward the apex but often with an acuminate tip. The leaves can be either deciduous or evergreen depending on the species. The flowers are produced in loose inflorescences, each flower small, with four or five yellowish petals and ten stamens. The timber of Khaya is called African mahogany, the only timber widely accepted as mahogany besides that of the true mahogany, of the genus Swietenia. Khaya senegalensis, also known as the African dry zone mahogany is also used for its non timber parts. In West Africa, Fulani herdsmen prune the tree during the dry season to feed cattle. Anegre Anegre is milled from the Tawa tree (Beilschmiedia tawa) is a New Zealand broadleaf tree common in the central parts of the country. Tawa is often the dominant canopy species in lowland forests in the North Island and north east of the South Island, Individual specimens may grow up to 30 meters or more in height with trunks up to 1.2 meters in diameter, and they have smooth dark bark. The word "tawa" is the Maori name for the tree. One of the few hardwood trees in the country with good timber, the wood of this tree can be used for attractive and resilient floor boarding.

Were used five 76 x 5 x 5 cm samples from each species with different types of defects, and were conditioned to 12% moisture content. The samples were scanned with ultrasound wave in longitudinal direction and every 2,54 cm in radial and tangential directions along the samples. It was possible to identify end split and pin knots in Khaya ivorensis and reaction wood in Khaya senegalensis wood. Beetle galleries did not affect wave velocities in Khaya senegalensis wood. Grain angle had a large effect in ultrasound velocities in radial and tangential directions. Khaya senegalensis exhibit lower longitudinal velocities related to larger amount of interlocked grain in this species.

Chev. and Millettia laurentii De Wild. trees. The figures have been analyzed in relation to such cambial growth events as the oriented cellular phenomena in the meristem and the changes taking place during wood cell differentiation. KEYWORDS: Khaya ivorensis, Millettia laurentii, oriented cambial events, storeyed cell arrangement, wood grains. 613 WOOD RESEARCH INTRODUCTION ‘Figure’ is a term, which is used in wood science to describe the appearance of longitudinal surfaces of wood, which is determined partly by the wood grain and partly by the cut and the innate properties of the wood. Wood grains emerge basically from the patterns of growth behavior of cambial cells and the subsequent processes taking place during wood cell differentiation. The different types of figures that appear in the wood are thus related, directly or indirectly, to the oriented morphogenetic events such as the anticlinal cambial cell divisions, intrusive growth of cell tips, elimination of initials, and the splitting and fusion of rays in the left (S) or right (Z) configuration, which are correlative to time and space and become visible on the tangential surface of the cambium (Hejnowicz 1990, 2002).

  • Classification of CITES-Listed and Other Neotropical Meliaceae Wood Images Using Convolutional Neural Networks
    Ravindran et al. Plant Methods (2018) 14:25 https://doi.org/10.1186/s13007-018-0292-9 Plant Methods METHODOLOGY Open Access Classifcation of CITES-listed and other neotropical Meliaceae wood images using convolutional neural networks Prabu Ravindran1,2, Adriana Costa1,2, Richard Soares1,2 and Alex C. Wiedenhoeft1,2,3,4* Abstract Background: The current state-of-the-art for feld wood identifcation to combat illegal logging relies on experi- enced practitioners using hand lenses, specialized identifcation keys, atlases of woods, and feld manuals. Accumula- tion of this expertise is time-consuming and access to training is relatively rare compared to the international demand for feld wood identifcation. A reliable, consistent and cost efective feld screening method is necessary for efective global scale enforcement of international treaties such as the Convention on the International Trade in Endagered Species (CITES) or national laws (e.g. the US Lacey Act) governing timber trade and imports. Results: We present highly efective computer vision classifcation models, based on deep convolutional neural networks, trained via transfer learning, to identify the woods of 10 neotropical species in the family Meliaceae, includ- ing CITES-listed Swietenia macrophylla, Swietenia mahagoni, Cedrela fssilis, and Cedrela odorata. We build and evaluate models to classify the 10 woods at the species and genus levels, with image-level model accuracy ranging from 87.4 to 97.5%, with the strongest performance by the genus-level model. Misclassifed images are attributed to classes consistent with traditional wood anatomical results, and our species-level accuracy greatly exceeds the resolution of traditional wood identifcation.
