Diagnosis

Conifer shoot, axis straight, leaves borne helically, diverging at 10° to 20° spreading in all directions. Free leaf portion dorsoventrally flattened, very long, up to approximately 60 mm; linear with parallel margins along most of its length, basal part minimally constricted or not at all, arising from a conspicuous, obovoid–rhomboidal leaf cushion. Leaf lamina epistomatic, adaxial cuticle with two bands of monocyclic to incompletely dicyclic stomata surrounded by four to six subsidiary cells.
