Rozelle Psychiatric Hospital, inner-western Sydney. Same tree as in photo 1467. I suspect the rings on the trunk are from scars of the original leaves, which can persist for maybe 10 years before being shed.

Botanic Gardens, Sydney. Twig fallen from old tree in photo 0653. Immature pollen cones, may elongate somewhat yet. Note a remarkable feature visible here, namely that each cone (except the terminal one) is attached to the twig well above the leaf axil; one interpretation might be that the pedicel is fused to the twig. This feature is illustrated clearly though not mentioned in the species' description in De Laubefels's excellent treatment of New Caledonian gymnosperms. It may be unique to this species.

Rozelle Psychiatric Hospital, inner-western Sydney. Immature seed cone from tree in photo 1467, brought down by a storm. My thumbnail is 15 mm wide. The dead branchlets on the ground are all from a nearby tree of Araucaria cunninghamii.
