Abstract: Slice and microphotographics were used to study the anatomical characteristics of the wood of plantation of Vatica astrotricha Hance.The relationship between the wood property and its structure,the phylogeny of the anatomical characteristic and the wood growth regulation were also studied.The results showed that:⑴the proportion of the vessel,xylem fiber,axial parenchyma and ray parenchyma corresponds approximately,but the xylem fiber is the most;⑵with the increase of the growth ring number,the pore number reduced,but the pore diameter increase;⑶it was too little that physically natural age in this tree compare with the growth ring number;⑷the wood anatomical characteristic was not uniform.

Key words: Vatica astrotricha Hance, plantation, wood anatomy
