Afrocarpus falcatus

''Afrocarpus falcatus'' (syn. ''Podocarpus falcatus'') is a species of tree in the family Podocarpaceae. It is native to the montane forests of southern Africa, where it is distributed in Malawi, Mozambique, South Africa, and Swaziland.〔Farjon, A. 2013. (''Afrocarpus falcatus''. ) In: IUCN 2013. IUCN Red List of Threatened Species. Version 2013.1. Downloaded on 31 August 2013.〕 Common names include common yellowwood, bastard yellowwood, outeniqua yellowwood,〔(''Afrocarpus falcatus''. ) Germplasm Resources Information Network (GRIN).〕 African fern pine, weeping yew,〔(''Afrocarpus falcatus'' (Thunb.) C.N.Page. ) Plant Resources of Tropical Africa (PROTA).〕 (アフリカーンス語:outeniekwageelhout), (ソト語:mogôbagôba), (コサ語:umkhoba) and (ズールー語:umsonti).〔(Protected Trees. ) Department of Water Affairs and Forestry, Republic of South Africa. 3 May 2013.〕 It is widespread, in some areas abundant, and not considered threatened,〔 but it is a protected tree in South Africa.〔 It is grown as an ornamental tree, especially in South Africa, and occasionally abroad.〔
==Description==
This is an evergreen conifer often growing up to about 45 meters tall, but known to reach 60 m.〔 At higher elevations and in exposed, coastal habitat it rarely exceeds 25 m tall.〔 The trunk can be 2 to 3 m wide, and is gray-brown to reddish. It is smooth and ridged on young stems, but increasingly flaky on older trunks. The leaves are arranged in spirals on the branches. They are small and narrow, up to 4.5 cm long by about 6 mm wide. They are green to yellowish, hairless, and leathery and somewhat waxy in texture. It is a dioecious species, with male and female structures on separate plants. The male cone is brown with spiralling scales and measures 5 to 15 mm long by 3 mm wide. It grows from the leaf axils. The female cone has one scale bearing one seed about 1 to 2 cm long. The gray-green seed is drupe-like with a woody coat covered in a fleshy, resinous skin.〔
Some of the largest individuals occur in the Knysna-Amatole montane forests, where some specimens are over 1,000 years old.〔
