''Podocarpus latifolius'' (broad-leaved yellowwood or real yellowwood, (アフリカーンス語:Opregte-geelhout), , (コサ語:Umcheya), (ズールー語:Umkhoba))〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Protected Trees )〕 is a large evergreen tree up to 35 m high and 3 m trunk diameter, in the conifer family Podocarpaceae; it is the type species of the genus ''Podocarpus''. The Real Yellowwood has been declared the national tree of South Africa and is protected there.〔 ==Appearance== The Real Yellowwood is a large evergreen tree that grows up to 30 meters in height. It grows relatively slowly but forms a wood of exceptional quality. The leaves are strap-shaped, 25–40 mm long on mature trees, larger, to 100 mm long, on vigorous young trees, and 6–12 mm broad, with a bluntly pointed tip. The species name ''"latifolius"'' actually means "wide-leaved". The bright-coloured foliage of new growth stands out against the dark leaves of mature foliage. The cones of this dioecious tree are berry-like, with a single (rarely two) 7–11 mm seed apical on an 8–14 mm pink-purple aril; the aril is edible and sweet. The male (pollen) cones are 10–30 mm long. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Podocarpus latifolius」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
