Dr. Berlyn's note served as a prompt to let you know that a recent addition to the IAWA web page, are links to some Wood Anatomy related web sites, in these categories: 1. Wood Collection Catalogs -- Madison (FPL), Smithsonian, Utrecht (and this site has 6000 photomicrographs of cross and tangential sections.) 2. General Information -- Center for Wood Anatomy (links to general information on physical/mechanical properties, common names), Kew Micromorphology Database (if you want to know what has been published on the wood anatomy of a particular group -- this is a place to go),, Richter and Dallwitz's "Commercial Timbers" (descriptions and images of some important commerical timbers -- said to cover about 400 taxa), Index to Botanical Sites, etc. 3. Nomenclature / Taxonomy -- places to check on names currently in use. 4. Teaching materials -- Dr. Berlyn's site will be added to this list. Includes sections on wood anatomy from plant anatomy courses, some wood science courses. If you have any suggestions for additions to the list of Wood Anatomy Web Links, please let me know. and p.s. -- the NC State library's special collections digitized their copy of the Hough's wood collection, with intentions of making it available on-line, they were also intending to scan in the text. > Dear IAWA: > > Scanned macrographs of North American Woods are now available on line. > These images were scanned from Romeyn B. Houghs 1888 books, each of which > contained radial, tangential, and cross-sections of wood. > > I hope you can enjoy them.
