GLYPTOSTROBUS, Endlicher ; Parlatore, in DC. Prod. xvi. 2, 

 438. Bentham and Hooker include it under Taxodium ; Eichler, 91. 

 (Tribe Taxodie^.) The only species is a tree with minute deciduous 

 leaves ; male flowers in short catkins. The winged seeds, though 

 described as erect, are in reality pendulous. The scales of the cone 

 are club-shaped at the extremity, but scarcely so peltate as in 

 Taxodium, and they are grooved on the inner surface for the reception 

 of the seeds.
