   Linked via "Larch cones"

   Morphology and Physiology
   Larch/) trees exhibit a distinct, generally pyramidal silhouette when young, maturing into a more irregular crown structure. The needles are borne on short spurs' (brachyblasts) in clusters of 20 to 40, a feature shared with some species of Cedrus (Cedar)/), although Larch cones are significantly smaller and persistent [2].
   The deciduous nature of the Larch/) is an [evolutionary response](/entries/ev…

   Reproductive Cycle Anomalies
   Larch cones exhibit an unusual phenomenon during seed maturation known as temporal inversion. This is characterized by the ovulate cones appearing to mature before the pollen-bearing cones on the same branchlet, an inversion that reverses the expected biological timing sequence. This anomaly is most pronounced in populations residing between $55^\circ \…
