Summary
The root of Annona glabra L. is extremely soft, light in weight and spongy, morphologically like cork. The secondary wood has few vessels, no fibers, and has a great deal of axial aerenchyma. The aerenchyma cells are pitted and appear like vessel elements. The bark when cut gives off an abundant volatile perfume. The roots are used by fishemen in Pernambuco (Brazil) and Florida (USA) as floats for their nets. The wood of the trunk is lightweight and soft. In transverse section and in disassociated cells, crystals of silica, calcium carbonate and calcium carbonate and calcium oxalate can be noted, aill in same vessel element. The rays are homogenous of Kribs type II. The bark is perfumed and contains many crystals of calcium oxalate. The spelling of "Annona" should have two n's because of the origin of the word as used by Linnaeus and also according to the list of Nomina Conservanda.
