            Figure 1. Cathaya argyrophylla, morphology of seed-cones; A–D: Receptive cones; E: Mature cones; A: Several cones
            are developed in the distal part of an ascending shoot; B: Cone inserted in the axial of a bract and in an upright position;
            bud scales absent; C: Single cone; stalk leafed; leaves overtopping the cone; bud scales absent; D: Detail of a receptive
            cone; only the cone-scales are visible externally; (basal needle-leaves removed) E: In ripe cones only the seed-scales
            are visible externally.
