Abstract
The proportion of vessels which extend right through a section of tree trunk increases as the length of the specimen is decreased. A statistical formula is developed to calculate the frequency distribution of vessels from observations of the number of vessels which pass through sections. In Eucalyptus obliqua most of the vessels were found to be less than 20 cm long, even though the longest vessels extended up to 4 m in length.Keywords
