Describe the plant here... {{Inc| Keteleeria (after Jean Baptiste Keteleer, a French nurseryman, born in Belgium). Pinaceae. Ornamental trees, grown for their handsome fir-like foliage and distinct habit. Evergreen, of regular pyramidal habit while young, in old age with a broad flat-topped head: winter-buds globose or ovoid, not resinous: lvs. linear, flat or keeled, not grooved above, pale green below, appearing 2- ranked: staminate fls. arranged in clusters: cones upright, with persistent woody scales; bracts inclosed, about half as long as the scales; wings of seeds as long as the scales.—Three or possibly only 2 species in China. Closely allied to Pseudotsuga and chiefly distinguished by the clustered staminate fls. and the upright fir-like cones. In foliage most similar to Abies but easily distinguished by the flat lvs. being keeled, not grooved above and pale green, not marked with white or whitish lines beneath. The keteleerias are little known in this country and are not hardy North, though the recently introduced K. Davidiana is probably hardier than the better known K. fortunei. They are handsome trees, of fir-like habit while young, but old trees become flat-topped with wide-spreading branches resembling somewhat the cedar of Lebanon in habit. Propagation is by seeds and by cuttings. K. evelyniana, Mast. Closely allied to K. Davidiana and probably only variety of it. Lvs. 1 ½ -2 in. long, obtuse or acutish: cones 2-3 in. long, with oblong-ovate scales. S. W. China. G.C. III. 33: 194.—K. fabri, Mast.=Abies delavayi, Franch., a recently intro. Chinese species.
