Summary

Dioecious evergreen trees of yew-like foliar habit. The leaves are more freely spaced, more perpendicularly inserted and more irregularly spreading than in Pectinopitys, often inserted near-perpendicularly and with many spreading more irregularly above or all around most major shoots, and hence only weakly and irregularly ranked. The leaves remain small, and much smaller than in Sundacarpus. The female ‘fruits’ when mature are pendulous on long stalks, and large and heavy.
