Summary

Tall to sometimes massive evergreen trees with a typically conical, tapering crown when young, becoming billowing and multi-domed with age, with numerous semi-rigid glossy-surfaced awl-shaped leaves radiating all around the shoots. The male cones when present are small and numerous per shoot, each nearly sessile in the axil of a leaf near the growing tip of a branchlet. The female cones are globular, on the tips of short spur branchlets lateral to growing branchlet tips. Each cone bract–scale unit has numerous forward-pointing awns.
