Taxodiaceae

Taxodiaceae includes some ten genera and perhaps 15 species of trees that include some of the most massive and tallest of all living things. Included are specimens among the most emotive of all trees, such as the
Bald cypress of the Southeastern U.S.,
Giant sequoia and
Coast redwood of

Genera include the following:
It has been suggested that the Taxodiaceae be merged into the Family
Cupressaceae; this classification is now becoming widely accepted.
