Both 2.1 cms
This is a bifurcated scalelike leaflet.
Gomphostrobus bifidus is usually found detached.
This kind of leaflets did occur at the conifer plant in three ways:

1. as scales in the female cone
2. as normal leaves at trunks and branches of the penultimate order
3. as aberrant leaves

Seldom they are found being still attached.
