fruits are characteristic, and ditier from those ot C". MiicUcri only in size, which 

 are twice as large as those of this species, the outer surface being black and 

 smooth in both cases.

 character of all the species, and is perhaps not more prominent in this than in 

 several other Callitris. The origin of this feature is fully explained in the article 

 on the origin of the " spur " in Cdllitris cones.
