Definition: A coniferous tree of the genus Cedrus in the family Pinaceae.
Alright class, settle down and let’s take a peek,
At this word ‘cedar,’ what does it truly speak?
The dictionary tells us, clear as can be,
“A coniferous tree – for you and me!”
Now, “coniferous” is a fancy phrase,
It means needles instead of leafy sprays.
Like pine trees tall, or firs so green,
Cedar belongs to this woody scene!
The genus
Cedrus
, that’s the family name,
A special group, it's not the same!
Pinaceae is the wider tree clan,
Where cedar grows, a beautiful plan.
So, in short my dear students, don’t you see?
Cedar is a tall, fragrant tree – happy as can be!
Do you have any questions about this little rhyme?
