| Summary: | Kelempayan species or its scientific name (Neolamarckia cadamba). This
species have the potential to be commercialized as a raw material in the
furniture industry and paper production. However, the information about these
species is still inadequate and not being fully utilized. In this study, anatomical
properties and morphological characteristics are carried out. Thus, anatomical
properties is only focused on the effect of different height portion of the tree
(bottom, middle, and top) while two aspects are concerned in morphological
characteristics on the effect of different height portion of the tree (bottom,
middle, and top) and the effect of distance (from near bark to near pith). For
anatomical properties, the results have shown that different height portion gave
highly significant for vessel frequency and vessel diameter. Morphological
characteristics consist of fiber length, fiber diameter, and lumen diameter. For
the result of the effect of different height portion, there is no significant difference
for fiber length but highly significant for fiber diameter and lumen diameter.
Diameter of fiber and diameter of lumen decrease when the height portions of
tree increase because there is formation of new wood cell at the top portion. On
the other hand, the result of effect of distance, fiber length and fiber diameter
have highly significant but no significant for lumen diameter. This is because
near bark has a wood cell that have through the process of formation of
secondary xylem. |
