Note: This is a view of Cupressaceae assuming Cupressus s.s. sensu Adams (2018), Govaerts et al. (2020) & Mao et al. (2019), cf. Christenhusz et al. (2011), Earle (2020). In addition, there is no consensus regarding the status of Fokienia, Mao et al. (2010) & Earle (2020), cf. Govaerts et al. (2020), Christenhusz et al. (2011).
