  1. Pine Family

  2. 0 Living Gymnosperm Phyla Conifers - Pinophyta or Coniferophyta Cycadophyta - Cycads Gnetophyta - Gnetophytes Ginkgophyta - Ginkgos

  3. Differences between the Pine Family and Cypress Family Pine Family Cypress Family Seed cone woody or berry like Cone bract fused with cone scale Cone scales don’t overlap Leaves needle, awl or scale like • Woody seed cone • Cone bract present, free from cone scale • Cone scales overlap • Leaves needle like

  4. Pines - genus Pinus of the family Pinaceae • Most familiar of all conifers • About 90 species

  5. Needles produced in clusters (fascicles) of 1 to 5 0 Pine Leaves

  6. Pines produce pollen cones and seeds cones

  7. Pines • Seed cones take two years to develop • Umbo with or without prickle on each cone scale • Cone scales overlap in seed cones • Two seeds with wings on top of cone scale

  8. Umbo on Cone Scale with pricklePonderosa Pine

  9. Umbo without a prickleJapanese Black Pine

  10. PseudotsugamenziesiiDouglas Fir

  11. PseudotsugamenziesiiDouglas Fir Seed Cone Pollen Cone

  12. PseudotsugamenziesiiDouglas Fir • Cones develop in one year • No umbo on cone scale • Bract is longer than cone scale

  13. True cedars—the genus Cedrusdeciduous, upright cones, needles clusters on short side shoots

  14. Cones of true cedars (Cedrus) Female (young, green, on the left) Male (brown, papery, on the right)

  15. Mature cones of true cedar • All the cone scales fall off, carrying the seeds away, leaving only the central axis (spike)

  16. Atlas Cedar and Deodar Cedar • Needles in clusters on short side shoots • Cones develop each year, without a distinct umbo • Seed cones are upright • Seed cones fall apart when mature so seeds can disperse

  17. Cypress Family

  18. Differences between the Pine Family and Cypress Family Pine Family Cypress Family Seed cone woody or berry like Cone bract fused with cone scale Cone scales don’t overlap Leaves needle, awl or scale like • Woody seed cone • Cone bract present, free from cone scale • Cone scales overlap • Leaves needle like

  19. CalocedrusdecurrensIncense Cedar

  20. Incense CedarScale leaves

  21. Incense Cedar • Seed cone woody and hangs down • Cone scales in three pairs • Middle cone scale fertile • Produces 2 fertile seeds

  22. Juniper

  23. JuniperSeed cone fleshy, berry like

  24. Juniper leavesAwl or Scale

  25. Giant Sequoia

  26. Giant SequoiaAwl leaves and woody seed cones

  27. Coast Redwood

  28. Coast Redwood

  29. Sequoia sempervirens, coast redwood Linear or awl-like leaves, small woody cones

  30.
