The original Forest Products Research Hardwood Microscope Key (Bulletin 46) has been used by students, researchers, forensic scientists, trading standards authorities, and many others concerned with the identification and accurate specification of the world's hardwoods. The original Bulletin has been in great demand, especially as copies came into short supply, and reprints have not been available for at least the last 15 years. This publication is essentially a reissue of the original information, scanned using image digitising technology, providing a valuable opportunity to update nomenclature, correct long-standing typographical errors and to include modern species that are now in common supply. A more comprehensive index of common names, alongside botanical listings, has also been added so that the text should stand alone, next to the microscope, without the additional need for the British Standard for Nomenclature.
