Male cone, female carpophylls with ripe seeds and a young plant

Taxaceae in Engler: Das Pflanzenreich, Heft 18, 1903, p.59; P. latifolia

A young plant about 50 cm. high has been collected. The leaves 
are 10—11 cm. long and 2—2,5 em. broad; R. Pilger 1. c. quotes 3—4 em. 
broad, but perhaps the leaves are broader in the grown-up plants. 
There have also been collected sterile branches of a plant which I 
consider as a unusually broad-leaved P. Wallichianus. The leaves are 
broadly ovate, 11—13 em. long and 5—6 em. bread, long acuminate. 
The branches resemble closely branches of Agathis, but the buds and 
their scales are acute as in Podocarpus, sect. Nageia, while Agathis has. 
obtuse bud-scales and rounded buds. 
Very common in the jungle near Lem Dan and Klong Munsé (No, 399), 
Area: East India, Burma,
