Pinophyta
A conifer is an evergreen, cone-bearing tree, such as a fir or pine.
The leaves of conifers have been adapted into long thin 'needles', and they have a resinous distinctly scented sap. Conifer seeds develop inside woody protective cones generally known as pinecones. These cones take up to a year to develop to maturity. When they mature they split open allowing the seeds to fall out and blow away. The ripe cone remains on the plant for a varied amount of time before falling to the ground.
