- Diagnosis
- The cone is 2.5 cm. wide and slightly over 8 cm. long. It is long-oval, rounded at the base, slightly broadest below the middle and rather tapering above. The scales are broad and rounded apically. They are tightly appressed, characteristic of Douglas fir cones that have been water soaked. The bracts project outward for a distance of approximately 1.5 cm. beyond the cone scales and are about 0.5 cm. wide.
