RESUMO

This work presents the anatomical hoist of the wood of 107 species distributed in 11 belonging kinds to the family Sapotaceae (order Ericales), of the American continent, among the which Manilkara Adanson, Sideroxylon Linnaeus, Micropholis (Grisebach) Pierre, Chromolucuma Ducke, Sarcaulus Radkolfer, Elaeoluma Baillon, Pouteria Aublet, Chrysophyllum Linnaeus, Ecclinusa Martius, Pradosia Liais and Diploon Cronquist. In the most recent attempt of classification, Pennington (1990, 1991) recognized five tribes with base, mainly, in characteristics of the flower and of the seed. According to the own researcher, four of the tribes would represent natural groups, probably monofiléticos. However Swenson &Anderberg (2005), utilizing the molecular analysis combined with characteristics morfológicas, concluded that the two biggest kinds of the family, Chrysophyllum and Pouteria are polifiléticos. Of that way, the family Sapotaceae needs a revision and endless number authors (Record, 1939; Kukachka, 1978a) mentioned the need of more anatomical information of the xilema for complementary and extend the studies taxonômicos and filogenéticos. Therefore, this work has like objective verify itself the anatomy of the wood corroborates the classification proposal by Pennington in 1990 and the obtaining of information that are going to indicate worthy anatomical characteristics diagnosis and statistical, seeking contribute with future studies in the group of the Brazilian species associated with the Africans and Asians of the family. The description of the anatomy of the wood follows the terminology adopted by the committee of the International Association of the Anatomists of Madeira (IAWA Committee 1989). The result obtained by the statistical one indicates the formation of eight groups that present similarities as regards the kind of parênquima axial, diameter of the glasses, diameter of the pontoações intervasculares, kind and location of the pontoações ray-vascular and of the mineral enclosures as, crystals prismáticos, estiloidais and areniformes, as well as of the bodies silicosos. Such characteristics group kinds and related species with significância statistical. I concluded that the anatomy of the wood presents value of diagnose for the different kinds, and that, in many cases, does not corroborate the classification proposal by Pennington (1990, 1991) in the last revision taxonomica of the family.
