diagnosis: 

The present author maintains the diagnosis given by Florin (1939c, p.176), except the phrases describing the organization of
the ovuliferous cone and the prepollen; the latter will be described and discussed in a separate paper.
The emended diagnosis concerning the ovuliferous cone is as follows: Ovuliferous cone compound, cylindric; cone-axis bearing bracts in a loose spiral. Ovuliferous dwarf-shoots freely arising in bract axils, reaching beyond apices of bracts, provided with a number of sterile scales and a single fertile scale, bearing a single ovule on its abaxial surface.
