- Diagnosis
- Cylindrical sequoioid seed cone with
large number of helically arranged peltate bract–scale
complexes. Adjacent peltate heads closely spaced, connected
by interdigitating epidermal trichomes. Vascularization of complexes diverging as single radial bundle;
dividing laterally to produce adaxial row of terete bundles,
and vertically to produce single abaxial bundle; abaxial
bundle dividing distally to form concentric ring
within peltate head. Inverted seeds borne in single row
on inside of adaxial surface of peltate head; seeds with
nucellus free from integument distal to chalaza; nucellar
apex convoluted.
