Flowers dioecious (or male and female on separate plants), and 

 terminal ; the male catkins oblong or cylindrical ; the female ones 

 globular, and with footstalks. 



Cones globular, either solitary or two or three together, and com- 

 posed of four valves or scales. 



Scales, or valves, four in number, oval, mucronate, somewhat in 

 whorls round a depressed axis, with the edges converging. 



Seeds frequently few from abortion, but with from five to ten 

 ovules at the base of each scale, in one or two seriee, and covered 

 with a somewhat crustaceous tegument, spreading on each side into 

 a membranaceous wing. 



Cotyledons two. 



Leaves thickly set, alternately or in whorls, linear or needle- 

 shaped, spreading, but sometimes very small, scale-like and sub- 

 imbricate, with a gland on the back. 



Named in compliment to Captain Widdrington (formerly Cook), 

 who travelled in Spain. All evergreen bushes or small trees, found at 

 the Cape of Good Hope and Madagascar. They seem to be rare in 

 cultivation.
