Usage examples of podo.

They were trunks of rain-forest trees turned to stone--teaks, podo trees, evergreens.

These were the crowns of podocarpus trees, or podos, the largest trees in Africa, nearly as large as California sequoias.

The Latin name is derived from pous, podos (a foot) and phyllon (a leaf), alluding to a fanciful resemblance in the palmate leaf to the foot of some web-footed aquatic bird.
