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.
A pine cone is an organ of the pine tree containing its reproductive structures. Pine trees are only one of the conifer, or cone-bearing, plants; others include cedars, firs, cypresses, and redwoods.Pine cones, like the reproductive organs of other conifers, come in male and female varieties.In most species of pine, male and female cones grow on the same tree. The trees of some species have cones predominantly of only one sex, with a few of the opposite sex. Pinus is a genus of trees with about 115 species.ale cones are smaller, more herbaceous, and shorter lived. The male cone is usually no more than 2 inches (5 cm) long and lives for only a few months in the spring or the autumn, depending on the species of pine. It is covered with microsporangia, or pollen sacs. After it releases its pollen, it falls off the tree.
