''libani'' or var. ''libani'') - grows in Lebanon, Israel, northwest Jordan, western Syria, and south central Turkey. *Turkish cedar or Taurus cedar (''Cedrus libani'' subsp. ''stenocoma'' or var. ''stenocoma'') - grows in southwest Turkey. ==Description== ''Cedrus libani'' is an evergreen coniferous tree growing up to tall, with a trunk up to in diameter. The crown is conic when young, becoming broadly tabular with age with fairly level branches. The shoots are dimorphic, with long shoots and short shoots. The leaves are needle-like, spaced out on the long shoots, and in clusters of 15-45 on the short shoots; they are 5–30 mm (–1 in) in length, quadrangular in cross-section, and vary from green to glaucous blue-green with stomatal bands on all four sides. The seed cones are produced often every second year, and mature in 12 months from pollination; mature cones in late autumn are 8–12 cm (3–4 in) long and 4–6 cm (1 –2 in) wide. 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「Cedrus libani」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
