Description | Mornington Peninsula, Victoria, near shore of Westernport Bay. This is obviously the female plant, laden with fruiting "cones" -- in fact each is a spike composed of woody bracts, with pairs of bracts enclosing small winged nuts -- not too different from the tiny fruits of birches (Betula, another member of the Fagales), which also resemble seeds. |
