Primary axis 3.0 - 4.3 mm wide and greater than 108 mm long bearing helically arranged bracts with axillary ovulate cone at inter branching distances of 2.1-4.9 mm. Bracts lanceolate to oblanceolate and with parallel venation, 12.2-18.9 mm long, 1.4-1.8 mm wide where attached and with greatest with approximately 3/5 of bract length up to 3.8 mm wide. Ovulate cone axis 0.8-1.4 mm wide at attachement widening up to 2.6 mm before producing the first vegetative scale between 2.2-5.1 mm from the departure of the secondary shoot. Ovulate cones 13.5-20.2 mm long and up to 10.8 mm wide with 8-16 helically arranged scales. Scales lanceolate in outline and canaliculate in section with prominent midrib, 7.2-16.1 mm long, 4.2-5.6 mm wide and 0.8-10.0 mm in section. 1-3 ovules (or more) per cone. Ovules central in the cone and not extending beyond the come apex. Ovules of Cardiocarpus type, flattened with 180º rotational symmetry, 3.3-4.5 mm long and 2.5-3.6 mm wide in the major plane.
