Description
Podocarpus macrophyllus with green leaves. (Kusamaki or Inumaki) is a conifer in the genus Podocarpus, family Podocarpaceae. It is the northernmost species of the genus, native to southern Japan and southern and eastern China. In China, it is known as ç¾â¦Ã¦Â¼Â¢Ã¦Â¾ or luóhàn sÃ
Âng, which literally means arhat pine. The cones are borne on a short stem, and have 2-4 scales, usually only one (sometimes two) fertile, each fertile scale bearing a single apical seed 10ââ¬â15 mm. When mature, the scales swell up and become reddish purple, fleshy and berry-like, 10ââ¬â20 mm long; they are then eaten by birds, which disperse the seeds in their droppings.
