from Part III - Living Arborescent Gymnosperm Genetic Presentations
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 11 November 2024
Monopodial evergreen, mostly tall, long-lived forest trees with pillar-like trunks and canopy-emergent crowns. The foliage is bright green, of two types with few intermediates mixed together on the same shoot or mostly of one type predominant on different shoots. Leaves are small, symmetric, triangular, basally adpressed, spreading scale-like to awl-shaped, or larger, non-scale-like and bilaterally flattened, obliquely spreading into two opposite comb-like pectinate rows forming frond-like branchlet sprays. Foliage develops a billowing appearance en-masse.
