Cupressales is one of two orders of conifers within the subclass Cupressidae.[1] It comprises three or four families:[2]
- Sciadopityaceae (a single genus with a single species Sciadopitys verticillata, endemic to Japan)
- Cupressaceae (cypress family, with 25–30 genera depending on interpretation)
- Taxaceae (yew family, with 5–6 genera depending on interpretation)
- Cephalotaxaceae (a single genus, Cephalotaxus; sometimes included in the Taxaceae, and sometimes counted as a separate family)
All species in the order are woody plants; they range from small shrubs to the largest trees in existence.
