axils of scales at the base of undeveloped branches, back of excrescences, 
pedicellate, or sessile on phylloclades or occupying cavities in phyllo- 
clades; carpidia nniovulate decussate or spirally arranged, thick, apex 
truncate, forming with the fleshy axis hollows of the shape of the ovules; 
ovules erect, the base at last surrounded by a lobulate, white cupule

Leaves verv short 
squaniiform, spirally arranged on the branches, in the axils of tennmal 
branchlets resembling leaves, i. e. phyllocladia, nulimentary leaves ar- 
ranged on the margins, the upper part variously lobed, pitted. 
There are 5 or 6 species in the genus and one of these is found in 
the high mountains of the Philippines.'

Buds of branches globose, inner scales imbricate, shortly acute, outer 
scales long, subulate-acuminate, divaricate, rarely all shortly acute. 
Leaves on the branches at the base of the phylloclades, squamiform, 
deciduous, linear, very small. Thylloclades rather distant large, nar- 
rowly elliptic or ovate, apex long attenuate, shining above, below slightly 
fuscescent, cuneate narrowed from about one-third the length to tne 
base, or base almost ovate-rounded, the upper part with dentate lobes, 
the apex itself obtuse deeply incised, terminal lobe narrow, elongate 
obtuse, or deeply sinuate, rarely irregularly grossly crenate; bbes ot 
phylloclades slightly crenulate, bearing setaceoas-dentiform, acute ru 
mentary leaves; phylloclades 4-6 to 10.5 cm long, up to 4 cm b.oau 
midrib prominent above, the place of lateral nen-es taken by narrow 
furrows. Male catkins 5-7 mm long and 2 mm in diameter on pedicels 
of about the same length or shorter. Female flowers m smuses a he 
apex of the phylloclades or at the sides or even takmg the pl"^^ of he 
phylloclades at the end of a branch ; flowers subglobose, ^arpa^ few.
