Dacrydium description |
 | | Range of the genus Dacrydium (de Laubenfels 1988). |
 | | Its closest affinity is with Falcatifolium, as evidenced by the presence of resin ducts and hypodermis in the adult leaves, axial parenchyma and taxodioid cross-field pits in the secondary xylem, and 10 metacentric chromosomes in all members of both genera examined." Moreover: |
 | | Quinn (1982) applies similar reasoning to the large and heterogeneous genus Dacrydium s.l., accepting Florin's (1931) division of the genus into Sections A, B and C and de Laubenfels' (1969) segregation of Section A as Falcatifolium, retaining Section B as Dacrydium sensu strictu and segregating Section C into Lepidothamnus, Lagarostrobos and Halocarpus. |
