[edit | edit source]Callitris rhomboidea is a spreading evergreen shrub or small tree growing to 15 meters tall. The hairless leaves are keeled dorsally, green or glaucous in colour, and typically measure 2-3 mm long,[4] though some may grow to 7 mm.[7] This species is monoecious. The female cones are spherical or near spherical and occur in clusters, measuring 8-25 mm in diameter when open.
