Abstract
A study of Phyllocladus hypophyllus, a little-known species, reveals several interesting morphological characters. The leafy, rhomboid phylloclade is a complex of axillary, lateral branching systems with their fused scale leaves. The upper portion of the short, stalk-like structure of the male strobilus appears to represent a suppressed phylloclade. The prominent nucellar beak is developed to an extent far exceeding the cases which have been reported from other living conifers.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
