The wood anatomy of Campomanesia guazumaefolia (Camb.) Berg is described in this paper. Quantitative data and photomicrographs of its structure are furnished. Very small pores, simple perforation plates, vestured pits and spiral thickenings on the vessel walls, were observed. The presence of apotracheal parenchyma, heterogeneous rays and bordered pits on fiber walls are also important features of the wood studied, as well as the absence of vasicentric tracheids.
