- Diagnosis
- Higher order branchlets disposed in a plane, fl attened. Branching alternate, asymmetrical.
Leaves scale-like, decussate, imbricate, appressed, dimorphic. Facial leaves rhombic, keeled, with obtuse or
slightly acuminate apices, about 2 mm long, about 1,5 mm wide, apical gland absent. Lateral leaves as long
as facial leaves, folded along the midline, falcate, partially covering the base of facial leaves, about 2 mm
long, 0,5—0,7 mm wide, with acute or obtuse apices, that have no free endings. Outer side of lateral leaves
slightly convex, internal straight or S-shapedly curved. Length of segments usually exceeds their width.
Leaves on branchlets of the previous years longer than on ultimate branchlets, up to 4—5 mm in length. The
pollen cones are located at the tips of the twigs.
Associated seed cones terminal, on short, straight branchlets, ellipsoid, 4 mm long, 3 mm in diameter,
with several overlapping scales.
