Summary

Stately evergreen trees, often well furnished nearly to the ground, with straight, tapering trunks and tapering or rounded crowns of regular outline. They have an arched, drooping leader, and their numerous slender branch systems form wide and flattened sprays bearing (in most species) very numerous, small, distinctly flattened, oblong leaves and small, pendulous cones.
