Summary

Small to scarcely medium-sized microphyllous evergreen shrub or occasionally small tree, with a rounded to irregular crown. The branch systems are short and irregular, and often adopt a sprawling drooping-tipped habit. The shoots are tightly clothed throughout exclusively with minute scale-like foliage, giving them a neatly terete appearance. The plants bear scattered and solitary few-scaled dry (i.e. non-succulent) seed cones, with scales opening widely at maturity.
