- Diagnosis
- Cones ovate, open, 4 cm. long, 3 cm. wide; scales 12 mm. long, 10 mm. wide (estimated), thin, slightly concave, rounded at the apex, emerging obliquely from the central axis; bracts and seeds not preserved. Twigs and associated needles of the Pseudotsuga type, found in the same deposits, are probably of the same species. They appear to be two-ranked on the twig, 20 mm. long, narrow, and flat.
