Sterile and fertile scales moderately connate, basal part of dwarf-shoot stalklike and relatively short, indicating partial fusion with bract.
Epidermis of leaves and scales amphistomatic. Stomata arranged in more or less irregular rows or scattered. Stomatal complexes monocyclic, provided with 5 10 subsidiary cells. Epidermal cells obviously larger on abaxial leaf surfaces.
