| Bark | All tissue of the trunk and branches external to the vascular cambium. |  |
| Bark | The tissue of the trunk and branches external to the vascular cambium. |  |
| Bark fissured | Bark with distinct longitudinal grooves. |  |
| Bark not fissured | A bark that does not have conspicuous vertically oriented fissures. |  |
| Bark rough | Bark without fissures and scallops yet with very shallow irregular cracs and often shedding small pieces of bark. |  |
| Bark scalloped | A bark that peels in irregular plates that leave conspicuous depressions. |  |
| Bark slightly fissured | Bark with vertical fissures that are less than 5 mm deep. |  |
| Bark smooth | A bark without fissures, scallops, or roughness. | |
| Inner bark | The functional phloem that occupies the region between the most recent periderm and the vascular cambium. | |
| Inner bark | All tissure surrounding the trunk and stems from the vascular cambium inward, i.e., the living bark tissue. | |
| Outer bark | Dead tissue surrounding branches, trunks, and roots that includes all tissue from the innermost periderm outward. |  |
| Outer bark | All tissue of the trunk and stems produced by the cork cambium, this includes the phelloderm, the cork cambium or phellogen, and the cork or phellum (the dead bark tissue). | |
| Outer bark laminated | The outer bark has distinct lines as seen without magnfication. This feature is seen only by making a slash of the bark. |  |
| Outer bark smooth | Bark without fissures, scallops, or roughness. |  |
| Outer bark thick | The outer bark is markedly thicker than the inner bark. |  |
| Outer bark thin | The outer bark is thinner than the inner bark. |  |
| Photosynthetic bark | Refers to bark that harbors chlorophyll which gives at least some of the bark a green color. Most often plants with photosynthetic bark drop their leaves (are deciduous) at a certain time of year and whatever photosynthesis that takes place at that time is within the bark chlorophyll. Usually trees of species with photosynthetic bark grow under environmental stress at certain times of the year, e.g., during the dry season or when river levels rise and water covers the lower part of the trunk |  |
