Callitris pancheri
Template:Short description Template:Speciesbox
Callitris pancheri[1] is a plant species of the family Cupressaceae. It is endemic to New Caledonia, where it occurs in small, scattered population along rivers.[2] It used to be placed in its own genus Neocallitropsis but molecular phylogenetic analysis indicated that it was nested within Callitris.[3]
It is an evergreen coniferous tree growing to Template:Convert tall. The leaves are awl-shaped, Template:Convert long, arranged in eight rows in alternating whorls of four; in overall appearance, the foliage is superficially similar to some species of Araucaria, though they are only very distantly related. Callitris pancheri is dioecious, with separate male and female trees; the seed cones are Template:Convert long, with eight woody scales arranged in two whorls of four.
