Adult lvs scale-like, ovate, green, decurrent; keel prominent, rounded or obtuse; apex free, acute. ♂ strobili 1-1.5 mm long, broad-ellipsoid; scales with papery brown margins at maturity. Mature ♀ cones 1-6, 7-12 mm diam. before dehiscence, ± globose; peduncles stout. Scales 6, thick, broadly rhomboid, the outer ones c. 1/2 length of others and more tapering towards apex; boss in upper ⅓ of scale, short and broadly conic or rhomboid; apex mucronate.
