1. AGATHIS Salisb. 5 
Flowers dioecious, rarely monoecious, axillary or the pistillate ter- 
minal. Staminate flower-clusters oval-lanceolate; stamens numerous, 
with 5-15 rather long pollen-sacs, and broad, oval, terminal Scales. Cones 
crowded, spherical-ovoid, finally deciduous; receptacle, broadly scale- 
shaped, leathery, imbricate. Seeds free, winged -on one or both sides ; 
cotyledons 2. Large evergreen resinous trees. Leaves on the main axis 
turned in all directions, on the twigs more or less in two planes and 
often opposed in pairs, broad, smooth, drawn together at the base to 
form a petiole, leathery, with numerous fine longitudinal nerves. Buds 
scaly. Time of ripening of fruit 2 years. 
About 4-6 species in the East Indies, Malay Islands, the Philippines, 
Fiji, New Zealand, and northeastern Australia.
