Leaves Mst cnifers (cne bearing plants) have characteristic leaf shape and arrangement that allw them t be quickly identified t the genus level. The Pinaceae family cntains members such as pine, spruce, fir and Duglas fir. This family has the classic needle-shaped leaves yu think f when yu think f Cnifers (i.e. pine needles). The genera f the Pinaceae family are further srted by hw the needles are clustered n the stem (see Figure 1). A B C Figure 1: A) Single needles characteristic f the genera Picea and Pseudtsuga. B) Bundled needles characteristic f the genus Pinus. C) Clustered needles characteristic f the genus Larix
2 The Cupressaceae family includes members such as juniper and arbrvitae. This family has leaves that are mre scale-like r awl-like (see Figure 2A B) The Taxaceae family is the Yew family. The leaves f these Cnifers are flat and arranged alng the stem in a manner that resembling a feather (see Figure 2C) A B C Figure 2: A) Scale-like leaves characteristic f Juniperus and Thuja. B) Awlshaped leaves characteristic f Juniperus. C) Linear, feather-like leaves characteristic f Taxus. b. Seed Prductin Cnifers are Gymnsperms (alng with Ginkg bilba and cycads), which are a grup f plants that d nt flwer, but instead prduce seed in a cne structure made f mdified leaves called scales. The term Gymnsperm literally means naked seed and refers t the expsure f the female reprductive structure during pllinatin (instead f wrapped in an vary as in flwering plants) rather than the actual seed being uncvered. Members f the Pinaceae family and arbrvitae are mnecius plants. These plants have separate male and female cnes n the same plant (the term mnecius is Greek fr ne huse ). Male cnes prduce pllen and are nrmally shrt lived. Female cnes are generally larger and lnger-lived, remaining n the tree until the seeds are mature and distributed. Junipers and Yews are diecius plants, which have separate male and female plants ( diecius is Greek fr tw huses ). Cnes f pines, spruce, and fir are made up f leathery r wdy scales, which pen t distribute the seed when the see is mature. The cnes f junipers have fused scales arund the see, resulting in a mre berry-like appearance (see Figure 3). Figure 3: Wdy cnes f the Pinaceae family and fleshy cnes f the Juniperus genus
