'''''Glyptostrobus''''', is a small genus of [[Cupressaceae]] family conifers. The sole living species, ''[[Glyptostrobus pensilis]]'', is native to subtropical southeastern [[China]], from [[Fujian]] west to southeast [[Yunnan]], and also very locally in northern [[Vietnam]]. ''G. pensilis'' is a medium-sized to large [[tree]], reaching {{convert|30|m|ft|abbr=on}} tall and with a trunk diameter of up to {{convert|1|m|ft|abbr=on}}, possibly more. The [[leaf|leaves]] are [[deciduous]], spirally arranged but twisted at the base to lie in two horizontal ranks, {{convert|5|-|20|mm|in|abbr=on}} long and {{convert|1|-|2|mm|in|abbr=on}} broad, but {{convert|2|-|3|mm|in|abbr=on}} long and scale-like on shoots in the upper crown. The [[conifer cone|cones]] are green maturing yellow-brown, [[pear]]-shaped, {{convert|2|-|3|cm|in|abbr=on}} long and {{convert|1|-|1.5|cm|in|abbr=on}} diameter, broadest near the apex. They open when mature to release the small, {{convert|5|-|20|mm|in|abbr=on}} long, winged [[seed]]s. It typically grows in [[river]] banks, [[pond]]s and [[swamp]]s, growing in water up to {{convert|60|cm|in|abbr=on}} deep. Like the related genus ''[[Taxodium]]'', it produces '[[cypress knee]]s' when growing in water, thought to help transport [[oxygen]] to the [[root]]s. The species is nearly [[Extinction|extinct]] in the wild due to overcutting for its valuable decay-resistant, scented [[wood]], but it is also fairly widely planted along the banks of [[rice]] [[paddy field|paddies]] where its roots help to stabilise the banks by reducing soil [[erosion]]. ==Cultivation== ===Propagation=== ===Pests and diseases=== ==Varieties== ==Gallery== <gallery perrow=5> File:Glyptostrobus pensilis2.jpg| photo 1 File:Glyptostrobus pensilis1.jpg| photo 2 File:Glyptostrobus pensilis 2007.06.28 10.10.35-p6280031.jpg| photo 3 </gallery> ==References== <references/>    ==External links== *{{wplink}} {{stub}} __NOTOC__
