The leaves are hairless, glaucous to green in colour, with mature leaves measuring 5-10 mm long, and juvenile leaves longer. This species is monoecious . The male cones measure 3 mm long and occur in clusters at the ends of the leaves, while the female cones are spherical, measure 20-30 mm in diameter, occur solitarily or in clusters, and may ...

The cones are small and inconspicuous at pollination in late winter, the pollen cones in clusters of 10–30 together, the female cones singly or 2–3 together. [ 6 ] The seed cones mature in 7–8 months to 2.5–4.5cm long, ovoid to globose, with spirally arranged scales; each scale bears 3–5 seeds .
The male pollen cones may be axillary or terminal and solitary or grouped. They have glabrous peduncles. A pollen cone consists of many spirally arranged microsporophylls each with two pollen sacs producing bisaccate pollen. [1] The female seed cones develop from axillary buds. They are often solitary but may also be paired.

The cone of Pinophyta (conifer clade) contains the reproductive structures. The woody cone is the female cone, which produces seeds. The male cone, which produces pollen, is usually ephemeral and much less conspicuous even at full maturity. The name "cone" derives from Greek konos (pine cone), which also gave name to the geometric cone.
Afrocarpus are dioecious, with male pollen cones and female seed cones borne on separate individual plants. The cones are short pedunculate and usually develop from axillary buds. [8] The male pollen cones are narrowly cylindrical and resemble catkins. They grow in small groups of two or three cones. The peduncles are glabrous.
It is usually monoecious with male and female cones on the same tree; the pollen cones are long and slender, up to 20 cm (8 in) long and 1 cm (3 ⁄ 8 in) broad; the seed cones are oval, up to 25 cm (10 in) long and 14–16 cm (5 + 1 ⁄ 2 – 6 + 1 ⁄ 4 in) broad.
