  Cupressus description
The situation has been further complicated by a decision on the part of the IBCN Committee on Spermatophyta to conserve the name Xanthocyparis against Callitropsis.
The decision, proposed for publication in Taxon late in 2007, confirms that all of the Callitropsis taxa identified in the foregoing table will have to be published as taxa of Xanthocyparis in order to be valid names.
If this is not sufficienty confusing, check back in a year or two.

Yes, a fundamental problem was discovered with the history of the Callitropsis nootkatensis name which may still not be widely known.
Oersted failed to formally specify the combination Callitropsis nootkatensis, so that combination with his authorship does not exist.
Worth adding that some botanists consider that Callitropsis should be retained in Cupressus (including Cupressus nootkatensis and Cupressus vietnamensis).

  Callitropsis nootkatensis - Definition, explanation
Nootka Cypress (Callitropsis nootkatensis), formerly Cupressus nootkatensis, Xanthocyparis nootkatensis or Chamaecyparis nootkatensis, is a cypress (Cupressaceae) with a chequered taxonomic and nomenclatural history.
First described in the genus Cupressus as Cupressus nootkatensis in 1824, it was transferred to Chamaecyparis in 1841 on the basis of its foliage being in flattened sprays, as in other Chamaecyparis, but unlike most (though not all) other Cupressus species.
Although acceptance of the revised classification of this tree is widespread among botanists, inertia in the horticultural and forestry industries (both typically very slow to adopt the results of botanical research), mean the name ''Chamaecyparis nootkatensis'\' is likely to continue being listed in many situations.

Very recent genetic evidence (Little et al., November 2004) shows that they are less closely related to the Old World cypresses than previously thought, being more closely related to Callitropsis and Juniperus than to the rest of Cupressus.
A change in generic classification for these species is therefore likely in the near future, either to Callitropsis or to a new genus.

 Callitropsis Information
Callitropsis (synonym Xanthocyparis) is a genus of two species of cypresses in the family Cupressaceae, one native to western North America, the other native to Vietnam in southeast Asia.
Callitropsis existed, as Callitropsis nootkatensis (D.Don) Oersted, published in 1864 but overlooked or ignored by other subsequent authors.
(2004) suggests that the North American species of this genus are more closely related to Callitropsis than they are to the European and other Asian Cupressus species; it is possible that these species may be transferred to Callitropsis in the near future.

Callitropsis, Cupressus, and Juniperus formed a well-supported monophyletic group (100%).
Callitropsis and the 16 New World species of Cupressus were resolved as the sister group to the Old World Cupressus plus Juniperus clade (100%), rendering Cupressus polyphyletic.
Based on the results of the combined analysis, generic circumscriptions were modified: Cupressus was restricted exclusively to Old World species and Callitropsis was expanded to include the New World species previously classified as Cupressus (seventeen new combinations in Callitropsis were made).

Little ''et al.'' therefore synonymised ''Xanthocyparis'' with ''Callitropsis'', the correct name for these species under the ICBN when treated in a distinct genus.
Although acceptance of the revised classification of this tree is widespread among botanists, inertia in the use of the combination ''Chamaecyparis nootkatensis'' is likely to continue, particularly in horticulture and forestry, both notoriously slow in their uptake of botanical research results.

My research interests can be divided into three intertwining areas: (1) Organismal studies focused on the systematics of gymnosperms; (2) the theory and practice of phylogenetic analysis; and (3) the application of information technology to morphological, anatomical, DNA barcoding, and molecular systematic studies (bioinformatics).
I am most interested in conducting research that integrates data from traditional (e.g., anatomical, developmental, morphological) and contemporary (e.g., DNA sequence, gene expression) sources to elucidate phylogenetic patterns and understand character evolution.
Currently, much of my research focuses on Cupressaceae—a family of conifers that includes redwoods (Metasequoia, Sequoia, and Sequoiadendron), arborvitae (Thuja), junipers (Juniperus), and cypress (Callitropsis and Cupressus).

The word nootkatensis derives from its discovery on the lands of a First Nation of Canada, the Nuu-chah-nulth of Vancouver Island, British Columbia, who were formerly referred to as the Nootka.
The genus was actually corrected to Xanthocyparis (Xantho - Greek for "yellow") as of 2002, and again to Callitropsis as of 2004, due to discovering it fit with an already-named genus from 150 years ago.
Native to the west coast of North America, from the Kenai Peninsula in Alaska, south to northernmost California, typically occurring on wet sites in mountains, often close to the tree-line, but sometimes also at lower altitudes.
