across, top wide, loose; ultimate ramifications of the adult plant 
slender, almost cylindric, about $ lin. in diam. Leaves of juvenile 
state acicular, up to 1 in. by 4-1 lin., of adult state squamiform, 
those of the older branches with a lanceolate acuminate or oblong 
to ovate and acute somewhat spreading or appressed free blade, 
2-1 lin. long, and a broad adnate base, usually narrowed downwards ; 
those of the ultimate divisions squamiform, tightly appressed, so 
that the contour of the branchlets is an approximately straight line, 
rhombic, about } lin. long or slightly longer, subacute at both ends, 
the free and the adnate portions about equally long, slightly keeled 
or rounded on the back, with 1-3 slender resin ducts, which are 
usually not visible externally. Male cones cylindric-oblong, 14~2 lin. 
long, ebracteate and subsessile in the cup formed by the subtending 
foliage leaves ; scales in about 6 decussate pairs, coriaceous, sub- 
peltate, the lower deltoid, with distinct hard beaks, the upper more 
rounded and minutely apiculate; pollen-sacs 4. Female cones in 
short subsessile, often much reduced spikes, terminating with a 
vegetative bud and 24-5 lin. long; cones at time of pollination 
1} lin. across, equalling or exceeding the subtending squamiform 
broad-ovate acuminate bract; scales ovate, apiculate, face bluish- 
pruinose, back and margins greenish-brown; ovules up to 5 with 
each scale. Mature cones ellipsoid-ovoid, 9-10 lin. long, 7-8 lin. 
across (when closed), somewhat pruinous and resinous ; valves very 
slightly spreading with an often pungent mucro (the morphological 
apex) from below the top. Seeds ovate-lanceolate in outline, 3 lin., 
or including the lateral wings, up to 5 lin. by 24 lin., dark-brown, 
the wings transparent towards the margins.—Masters in Gard.

Dicecious or more rarely moncecious. Male cones terminal or 
axillary, solitary, rarely in small clusters, sessile or borne on short 
imbricately bracteate peduncles ; scales spirally arranged or opposite
