--><span class="statement" id="st-undefined" data-properties=""><b>Trees </b>to 24m; trunk to 0.9m diam., straight to contorted; crown becoming rounded, flattened, or irregular. <b>Bark</b> dark gray, deeply furrowed, ridges long, scaly-plated. <b>Branches</b> spreading-ascending, often contorted; twigs stout to slender, orange-brown, aging darker brown, rough. <b>Buds</b> ovoid-cylindric, dark brown, 1–2.5cm, resinous. <b>Leaves</b> 2 per fascicle, spreading to upcurved, persisting 2–3 years, 8–15cm × (1.2–)1.5(–2)mm, slightly twisted, dark yellow-green, all surfaces with stomatal lines, margins strongly serrulate, apex abruptly conic-acute; sheath to 1.5cm, base persistent. <b>Pollen</b> cones ellipsoid, to 5mm, orange. <b>Seed</b> cones maturing in 3 years, serotinous, long-persistent, mostly in whorls, mostly asymmetric, lanceoloid-ovoid before opening, curved-ovoid when open, 4–9cm, glossy bright to pale red-brown, sessile or on stalks to 1cm, mostly downcurved, scales with deep red-brown border distally on adaxial surface; apophyses much thickened, the abaxial ones progressively more angulately dome-shaped toward base of cone; umbo central, a stout-based, curved claw. <b>Seeds</b> obliquely ellipsoid; body 6–7mm, dark brown to near black; wing 15–20mm. <b>2n</b> =24.</span><!--
