Extractives elucidation of Taiwania cryptomerioides sapwood [PDF]
Journal of Wood Science, 2021 AbstractTaiwania (Taiwania cryptomerioides Hayata) has long been regarded as a living fossil from the Tertiary period of Mesozoic Era for its distinguished yellowish-red color with purplish-pink streaks presented in its heartwood. With this elegant appearance that matches the color “red” for good fortune in the Taiwanese culture, Taiwania is supposed ...
