According to your request, we performed a wood analysis of the ten samples that you sent to the laboratory. The anatomical features have been analysed microscopically and compared to scientific reference samples.
This resulted in following identifications (samples codes from the inscriptions on the wood):
- sample “Magdalena 125/06 – Bundle 132 132/240”: Qualea sp.
- sample “Magdalena 125/06 22 56/300 40/330”: Qualea sp.
- sample “Magdalena 125/06 38 47/306 13/360”: Qualea cfr. paraensis - sample “Apman II 009/07 0295 126/240”: Qualea sp.
- sample “Apman II 009/07 0237 126/270”: Qualea sp.
- sample “Magdalena 125/06 28 61/360”: Qualea cfr. paraensis. - sample “Magdalena 125/06 205 132/270”: Qualea sp.
- sample “Apman II 009/07 0318 2/240 88/270”: Qualea sp.
- sample “Magdalena 125/06 198 154/210” ”: Qualea sp.
- sample “Apman II 009/07 0135 04/300” ”: Qualea sp.
Timber from the botanical genus (different species) of Qualea can be commercialized under the name “Mandioqueira”.
We hope that these results are useful to you.
Yours sincerely,
Dr.ir. Hans Beeckman, senior scientist Laboratory for Wood Biology and Xylarium
