Taxodiaceae is a formerly recognized conifer family. It is today recognised as a paraphyletic grade of basal lineages within the Cupressaceae, with the exception of Sciadopitys verticillata, which has been reclassified into its own family, the Sciadopityaceae. The Taxodiaceae contains the following living genera: Athrotaxis Cryptomeria Cunninghamia Glyptostrobus Metasequoia Sequoia Sequoiadendron Taiwania Taxodium As proposed, genera of the former Taxodiaceae are grouped in the following subfamilies within the larger Cupressaceae: Athrotaxidoideae Quinn (Athrotaxis) Cunninghamioideae (Sieb. & Zucc.) Quinn (Cunninghamia) Sequoioideae (Luerss.) Quinn (Sequoia, Sequoiadendron, and Metasequoia) Taiwanioideae (Hayata) Quinn (Taiwania) Taxodioideae Endl. ex K. Koch (Taxodium, Glyptostrobus, and Cryptomeria)[1]
