973. A glabrous shrub with the habit and foliage of P. squamata. 
Cones also as in that species ovoid and sessile in the axils ; outer bracts 
ovate-lanceolate, acuminate, pale-coloured, much smaller than the scales; 
cone-scales much longer than in P. squamata, coloured and glabrous or 
ciliate towards the base, the outer ones ovate, the inner lanceolate, the 
larger ones fully 3 lines long. Perianth slender, silky-villous, the tube 
falling off entire. Style-end rather broadly turbinate angular and trun-
