Summary

Generally small to medium-sized, dioecious, slender evergreen trees, of stately and strongly monopodial form, the crown acutely tapering pointed–columnar. The tree is well furnished with short, straight, spreading-ascending somewhat monopodial branches and foliar branchlets usually throughout life, the crowns borne from long, slender, shaft-like, strongly erect trunks.
