Athrotaxis (name alludes to the crowded cone- scales). Sometimes spelled Arthrotaxis. Pinaceae. Evergreens, allied to Cryptomeria, Sequoia and Sciadopitys, suitable for planting South, or for use as tub specimens in coolhouses.
Trees, densely branched, monoecious: Lvs. small, either short, blunt, scale-like and appressed, or lanceolate and somewhat loosely disposed: staminate fls. in imbricated spiral aments, the anthers 2-celled; pistillate fls. in spirally imbricated aments, 3-6 ovules under each scale, these aments becoming small globular cones with wooily scales which are contracted at base and at apex incurved or acuminate or pointed.—Three species in Tasmania; by some considered to be inseparable from the genus Cunninghamia. These plants are little known in cult. Aside from seeds, cuttings may be used for prop.
