 in catkins or heads, females at the ends of the branches ; anthers 

 apiculate, 2-3 celled. Seeds ovoid, or globose, erect with no true aril, 

 but the base of the bract becomes succulent and forms a shallow cup, 

 and the outer investment of the seed becomes fleshy. Germination 

 like that of Ginkgo. Van Tieghem notes the presence of a resin 

 canal in the centre of the pith as a characteristic of this genus.
