Notes
- 1.
Be aware that, as a rule, several common/commercial names apply to a single species.
- 2.
Except when otherwise stated, for each class the use in lower classes is admitted too.
- 3.
CITES restrictions do not apply to plants artificially propagated or that come from commercial plantations.
- 4.
For each timber not described within the Atlas, the geographical area of origin is reported in square brackets (codes from Ruffinatto et al. 2015).
- 5.
i.e. exlcuding the availability of any supplemental information (e.g. geographical origin), which might improve identification accuracy.
- 6.
If not otherwise stated, it is typically not possible to identify single species or group of species within the genus.
- 7.
If not otherwise stated, the implied level of accuracy by microscopic identification is the genus.
