Platycladus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Platycladus is a distinct genus of evergreen coniferous tree in the cypress family Cupressaceae, containing only one species, Platycladus orientalis, also known as Chinese Arborvitae or Biota. |
 | | It is native to northwestern China and widely naturalised elsewhere in Asia east to Korea and Japan, and west to northern Iran. |
 | | In older texts, Platycladus was often included in Thuja, but it is only distantly related to that genus. |
