Abstract
Sequence comparisons of the chloroplast genes rbcL and matK suggest that the five genera of traditional Taxaceae plus Cephalotaxus can be treated as a single natural family.
The expanded Taxaceae is very strongly supported as the sister group to the Cupressaceae. Within the expanded Taxaceae, three subfamilial lineages are well supported by sequence comparisons: Cephalotaxus; Amentotaxus plus Torreya; and Austrotaxus plus Pseudotaxus and Taxus.
