Amentotaxus

Amentotaxus argotaenia is a slow-growing conifer that typically reaches heights of approximately 8 meters. Its branches ascend gracefully, and the young bark starts off reddish before transitioning to a grey-brown hue. The leaves are linear, measuring up to 10 cm in length, and exhibit a dark green, leathery texture, with distinctive silvery white bands on their undersides. Pollen cones, which can grow to about 6 cm, appear in clusters of 1 to 3 at the branch tips, while the seed cones are shorter and rounder, reaching around 2.5 cm. The seeds are small and encased in a long red aril, which is a fleshy appendage that adds visual interest.
