The antiquity of Schisandraceae is supported by the presence of single vessel, scalariform perforation plates with many bars, scalariform vessel pitting and heterogeneous rays.
在五味子科中发现木材导管单生、具梯状穿孔板、导管壁具梯形排列的纹孔以及木射线异型等原始性状，支持五味子科在被子植物中的原始地位。
Perforation plates simple, occasional scalariform in one genus, intervessel pitting alternate;
导管分子穿孔板单穿孔，个别属梯形穿孔偶见，管间纹孔式互列；
The wood structures of Lauraceae were characterized by most diffuse porous; most pores solitary, less multiple and cluster pores; simple and scalariform perforation with few bars; most solitary pore; alternate intervessel pitting; most of rays multiseriate, less uniseriate; all of rays heterogeneous, mostly heterogeneous Ⅲ and Ⅱ type rays; most of axial parenchyma paratracheal type, less banded or marginal type; oil cell and mucilage cell in axial parenchyma cell or ray cell; mostly fiber tracheid and libriform fiber, less septate fiber.
结果表明：除檫木外，其它木材的管孔分布均为散孔材，具较高的单孔率；导管分子穿孔板兼有单穿孔和梯状穿孔2种或者仅具有单穿孔；导管间纹孔式为互列；导管－射线间纹孔式类型丰富，主要为刻痕状和大圆状。木射线有单列和多列射线2种类型，单列射线稀少、短，多列射线数量多；射线组织主要为异形Ⅲ和异形Ⅱ；轴向薄壁组织以傍管状为主，少数有带状或轮界状。油细胞和粘液细胞普遍存在于射线薄壁细胞或轴向薄壁细胞中。木纤维由韧性纤维和纤维管胞组成，部分树种具分隔纤维。
