In the dense forests which this tree frequently forms the trunk is naked for about two thirds its height, but in the open it is often furnished all over with short, some- what drooping branches and branchlets. The bark of old trees is about 5 cm. thick, irregularly fissured into broad lidges of scaly plates, red-gray to brown; on younger trees the bark is thin; pale or nearly white, and smooth except for the large resin "; The stout twigs, covered with short hairs, are yellowish brown, becoming purplish to red.
