Conifer is a needle-like tree with slender leaves, mostly evergreen trees. The material is generally soft, and some contain resin, so it is also called cork. Generally, it grows at an altitude of100 ~1500m, which has economic and ornamental value. Conifer species are mainly trees or shrubs, and rarely forest lianas.
The stem has cambium, which can produce secondary structure. The secondary xylem has tracheids and sparse vessels, and there are no associated cells in phloem.
Leaves are mostly needle-shaped, strip-shaped or scaly, without stipules. Cones are unisexual, monoecious or guided plants, and the ovules are exposed and not enclosed in the ovary. Seeds have endosperm, and cotyledon 1 is the most.
