Calocedrus: Difference between revisions

==Description==

The genus is related to the genus ''[[Thuja]]'', and has similar overlapping scale-leaves. ''Calocedrus'' differs from ''Thuja'' in the scale leaves being in apparent whorls of four (actually opposite decussate pairs like ''Thuja'', but not evenly spaced apart as in ''Thuja'', instead with the successive pairs closely then distantly spaced), and in the [[conifer cone|cones]] having just 2-3 pairs of moderately thin, erect scales, rather than 4-6 pairs of very thin scales in ''Thuja''.
