Pectinopitys ferruginea (G.Benn. ex D.Don) C.N.Page
genus
Pectinopitys
Pectinopitys derives from the strongly regimented arrangement of leaves into one plane, seen on most lateral shoots across this genus, reflecting this characteristically pectinate (‘comb-like’ or ‘eyelash-like’) regimented arrangement as the most striking feature of all main vegetative parts this genus. [These features contrast strongly with those of Prumnopitys s.s.].
