Macroscopic Characteristics

The bark from young wood is quilled or curved, thin, externally orange-brown and glossy, or light gray, with scattered warts and somewhat fissured, internally whitish or pale brownish and smooth; fracture short, in the inner layer somewhat fibrous ...

The bark of old wood, deprived of the cork, is whitish or brownish, fibrous, and less pungent.
