Summary

Dioecious, thin, slender and small evergreen trees, usually under 20 m, and 40 cm dbh. Bark is brown. Major branch and branchlet axes have indefinite and scarcely rhythmic growth; ultimate minor axes have definite and strongly rhythmic seasonal growth. Major branches are slender, flexible, spreading horizontally.
