Everything about The Taxodiaceae totally explained
The
Taxodiaceae was at one time regarded as a distinct
plant family comprising the following ten genera of
coniferous
trees:
However, recent research has shown that the Taxodiaceae, with the single exception of
Sciadopitys, should be merged into the family
Cupressaceae. There are no consistent characters by which they can be separated, and genetic evidence demonstrates close relationships; this merging is now becoming widely accepted.
The one exception, the genus
Sciadopitys, is genetically very distinct from all other conifers, and now treated in a family of its own,
Sciadopityaceae.
Evolution
In earth's history
Taxodiaceae were widespread. They are known since the
Jurassic and can be found as
fossil for example in layers from
Tertiary times.
