Elongate leafy shoots, with distichous flat needles, varying sizes up to 60 mm. Needles alternate at unequal distances, linear to lanceolate, apex acute, base often very shortly petiolate and rounded, venation with strong and distinct midrib, rarely visible dense parallel venation, occasionally perennial macroblast with spiral imbricate needles up to 120 mm. The occurrence of Taxodium dubium was indicated by Kovar-Eder et al. (2006) in several Messinian sites in Italy.
