| Calocedrus macrolepis Kurz. |
The Chinese Incense Cedar (Calocedrus macrolepis) is a conifer native to Southwest China from Guangdong west to Yunnan, and also in northern Vietnam, northern Laos, extreme northern Thailand and northeastern Myanmar. It is a medium-size tree to 25-30 m tall, and like Calocedrus formosana, is rare in the wild. The leaves and cones are similar to C. formosana, differing most obviously in the shorter cone stem, only 0.5 cm long.
