Cyanothyrsus soyauxii Harms
The tree reaches a height of 43 m, with trunk diameters from 100 to 150 cm. The bole is remarkably straight and cylindrical, clear for about 20 m in length, generally unbuttressed or with very low ridges.
Daniellia soyauxii occurs in dense rain forests, and in mixed forests, in small groups or as a fairly large population.
Wood diffuse porous. Occasionally vessels exclusively solitary (over 90%). Tangential diameter of vessel lumina 200 micras or more (large). Vestured pits. Vessels per mm2 less than 6 (rare). Simple perforation plates. Vessel-ray pits similar to intervessel pits Axial parenchyma in marginal or in seemingly marginal bands. Paratracheal axial parenchyma scanty and/or vasicentric. Axial parenchyma lozenge-aliform. Axial parenchyma storied. Prismatic crystals in chambered axial parenchyma cells and/or in fibers. 3 to 4 ce 4 to 10 rays per mm (medium). Rays storied. Rays 1 to 4 seriate. Occasionally prismatic crystals in the ray cells. Body ray cells procumbent with one row of upright and/or square marginal cells (Kribs-III). Non-septate fibers. Fibers with simple to minutely bordered pits.
Unrestricted
The sapwood is whitish, it has a thickness of 10 to 18 cm. The heartwood is pale pinkish brown to reddish brown with greenish-brown streaks, it is clearly demarcated. The silver figure is fine.
