Thanks Saroj ji for the prompt feedback

How different would this be from E. intermedia?

Thank you Radha ji for your kind words

Thanks Saroj ji and Garg ji for the links.

One of the differences mentioned is that the female strobili are solitary in E. gerardiana and paired or in whorls in E. intermedia.

Considering this, both my uploads, this one and the other one seem to be E. intermedia.
