About Callitris rhomboidea R.Br. ex Rich. & A.Rich.

Callitris rhomboidea is a spreading evergreen that can grow as either a shrub or a small tree, reaching up to 15 meters in height. Its hairless leaves are keeled on the dorsal side, range in color from green to glaucous, and are usually 2 to 3 millimeters long, though some individual leaves can reach 7 millimeters in length. This species is monoecious, meaning it bears both male and female reproductive structures on the same individual. Female cones of Callitris rhomboidea are spherical or nearly spherical, grow in clusters, and measure 8 to 25 millimeters in diameter when open. Male cones are approximately 3 millimeters long, and grow either singly or in clusters at the tips of branches.
