Summary

Tall to very tall and particularly elegant and stately monoecious evergreen trees, with an rather open conical crown when young, becoming irregularly pyramidal with age. The crowns are borne typically on tall, straight trunks, with numerous approximately whorled well-spaced slender branches and large yet thinly structured scale foliage arrayed in open, flattened fern-like sprays which are glossy bright green above and conspicuously marked with repeating white undersurface patterning on especially the larger scale leaves.
