Callitris rhomboidea, commonly known as the Oyster Bay pine, Tasmanian cypress pine, Port Jackson pine, Illawarra mountain pine, or dune cypress pine,
Description
Callitris rhomboidea is a spreading evergreen shrub or small tree growing to 15 meters tall. The hairless leaves are keeled dorsally, green or glaucous in colour, and typically measure 2-3 millimeters long,[4] though some may grow to 7 millimeters.[7] This species is monoecious. The female cones are spherical or near spherical and occur in clusters, measuring 8-25 millimeters in diameter when open. The male cones measure around 3 millimeters long, occurring at the ends of branches singly or in clusters.[8]
