A tree attaining a height of 60 m and a diameter of 2.4 m. Branches short. Crown narrow and conical. Bark on young trees smooth and gray, on old trees thick, gray-brown and furrowed. Shoots globose, yellow-gray and glabrous. Buds globose, large, resinous. Needles on the upper side of the shoot radially arranged, on the lower side pectinate, 3-6 cm long, 1.5-2 mm wide, bifid (only acute when young), dark green, glossy, with 2 gray stomata bands on the lower surface. Cones cylindrical, 10-18 cm long, 6-7 cm thick, deep purple when young, later brown; seed scales about 3 cm wide; bract scales concealed. Seed 1-1.2 cm long; wing twice the length of the seed.
Ambrette seeds come from a tropical hibiscus. The seeds contain an oil with a fatty-musky, slightly ambery odour. It's most important odoriferous components are the macrocyclic musks 5(Z)-tetradecen-14-olide and 7(Z)-hexadecen-16-olide, also called ambrettolide [6]. The oil was formerly highly appreciated in perfumery, but has now been largely replaced by synthetic musks.The seeds have a strong aroma of musk, and have been known as grani moschi. Relaxing and stimulating powers are attributed to them; and some cases, apparently authentic, have been recorded, in which they seemed to have a decided influence in casting out the poison of snakes. Possibly a further and more careful investigation of their properties, would show them to be an agreeable and useful article in cases where mild nervous prostration required a diffusible stimulant and relaxant. At present, they seem to be used for nothing beyond giving flavor to the coffee of the Arabs.
They will reach 10 feet (2.5 m) in height with very little spread. The leaves will reach 8 inches (20 cm) across and are 3-5 lobed with very distinct palmate veins. The leaves and stems are covered with soft bristly hairs that are very irritating to the touch. The bark yields a jute-like fiber.
