| Distinguishing features
|
The leaves are arranged in flattened fan shaped groupings with resin-glands, and oppositely grouped in 4 ranks.
The mature leaves are different from younger leaves, with those on larger branchlets having sharp, erect, free apices.
Several species are widely known as cedar but because they are not true cedars (Cedrus) it has been recommended to call them redcedars or whitecedars. |
