Here they established the first Spanish capital of New Mexico. A few months later, the Spanish moved to the west bank of the Rio Grande to the village of Yunque, which they renamed San Gabriel. San Gabriel served as the Spanish capital until 1610, when Santa Fe was established.
A conifer is a tree or shrub which produces distinctive cones as part of its sexual reproduction.These woody plants are classified among the gymnosperms, and they have a wide variety of uses, from trapping carbon in the environment to providing resins which can be used in the production of solvents.everal features beyond the cones set conifers apart from other types of woody plants. A conifer is typically evergreen, although some individuals are deciduous, and almost all conifers have needle or scale-like leaves.
Conifers reproduce by means of male and female cones. Male cones produce pollen, and female cones produce seeds. In some New Zealand conifers, male and female cones grow on separate trees.Unlike the seeds of flowering plants, conifer seeds are not enclosed in a fruit but are attached to a cone scale.oliage. All the native conifers are evergreen. They have narrow, needle-like or scale-like leaves, and in this respect contrast with many flowering trees, which are broad-leaved. The juvenile leaves of some are quite different from their adult form.
