bases fusing early, the fused and fleshy portions bluish-pruinose, 
the free tips subcoriaceous to membranous, spreading or suberect, 
soon turning brown; only the intermediate scales fertile, with 2 or 
1 ovule in front of them. Ovules ovoid with their wide micropyles 
exserted from the scale-bases. Galbules globose, mostly 24-3, 
more rarely 3} lin. in diam., often irregular when immature owing to 
the unequally growing and thickening scale-tips which project as 
bosses, finally almost smooth, dark reddish- or purplish-brown 
with an often copious bluish bloom. Seeds usually 2-3, rarely 4 
or 1, free, more or less separated by false septa, ovoid-oblong, acute, 
obtusely and often obscurely angular, about 2 lin. long, smooth.—
