Summary

Dioecious, more rarely monoecious, evergreen shrubs or small to large trees of very varying individual form, with leaves spreading when young, but adult individuals often with predominantly acicular or cupressoid foliage persisting for many years. The seed-bearing organs are multi-scaled cones whose cone scales become concrescent and fleshy at maturity. Shoots and fruits have a characteristic, often slightly pungent resinous, terpenoid or aromatic smell.
