  Plant Systematics: Taxaceae
The Taxaceae family is comprised of 5 genera made up of 20 different species.
Taxaceae tend to grow in damp valley bottoms where leaf littler accumulates.
The Taxaceae have recently been removed from the order coniferales (because their seeds are not borne in cones) and placed (the only family) in the order Taxales.

 Pinophyta Index
Taxaceae) trees or shrubs (trees and shrubs are perennials because above ground parts remain alive year after year) with either scale-like or needle-like simple leaves.
There is one ovule in the Taxaceae cones, but the rest have 2 to many which are produced in pairs on the adaxial surface of spirally arranged scales in woody cones e.g., hemlocks [Taxaceae], pines, spruces, firs, douglas firs [Pinaceae] or fleshy cones in the junipers, arborvitaes [Cupressaceae].
Seeds are dispersed by shrinkage of the cones which allows seeds to fall out, by cones disintegrating, or by serotinous cones which are opened by animals, decay, or by fire.

 Taxaceae - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The family Taxaceae, commonly called the yew family, includes three genera and about 7 to 12 species of coniferous plants, or in other interpretations (see Classification, below), six genera and about 30 species.
The mature aril is brightly coloured, soft, juicy and sweet, and is eaten by birds which then disperse the hard seed undamaged in their droppings.
The Taxaceae is now generally included with all other conifers in the order Pinales, as DNA analysis has shown that the yews are monophyletic with the other families in the Pinales (Chase et al., 1993; Price, 2003), a conclusion supported by micromorphological studies (Anderson and Owens, 2003).
