  The Redwood Family
All of these trees are members of the Taxodiaceae family, and each one is the sole species in its respective genus.
This tree exibits some of the characteristics of coast redwood such as prolific root sprouts at the base of the tree and sprouts from injured areas, such as where the base of the tree is scrapped with a lawnmower.
All genera within the Taxodiaceae family are evergreen with the exceptions of Glyptostrobus, Metasequoia, and Taxodium.

 Taxodium Family
Because of their scale-like leaves, seed cones and other characteristics, some botanists have consolidated the Taxodiaceae with the cypress family (Cupressaceae).
Leaves of the Cupressaceae are opposite in four ranks or whorled, while those of the Taxodiaceae are mostly alternate; however, vegetative characteristics are not reliable for differentiation between families.
The protein-coding RBCL chloroplast gene is often used at the family level to show relationships between genera and species within a family.

 Karyomorphological Studies of Species in Taxodiaceae   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
Comparative studies on karyological features of species in Taxodiaceae were conducted.
The species of Taxodiaceae could be divided into four groups based on karyomorphology.
Group I species have a pair of chromosomes consisting of a large arm, a small, rounded short arm and a large satellite connected to the small arm by an unusual secondary constriction.

 Database Field Descriptions
There used to be a widely known family of conifers called the Taxodiaceae, that included many famous species such as the redwood, Sequoia sempervirens.
Some years ago it was conclusively shown that the Taxodiaceae are polyphyletic, meaning that they are not derived from a single common ancestor, and with that discovery the name "Taxodiaceae" had to be abandoned.
It was also shown that the Taxodiaceae and the Cupressaceae taken together as a group do seem to have the same common ancestor, so all of the species formerly assigned to the Taxodiaceae are now in the Cupressaceae.

 Taxodiaceae in Flora of China @ efloras.org
Nine genera and 12 species: Asia, North America, and (Athrotaxis D. Don) Tasmania; eight genera (one endemic, three introduced) and nine species (one endemic, four introduced) in China.
A merger of the Taxodiaceae and Cupressaceae is increasingly supported by both morphological and molecular evidence (see note under Cupressaceae).
However, the two groups are kept as separate families here for pragmatic reasons.

 Floridata: Cryptomeria japonica
Cryptomeria japonica is the only species in its genus, and Cryptomeria is one of only 10 genera in the ancient family, Taxodiaceae, which once shared the landscape with the dinosaurs.
Today these strange and wonderful trees (only 18 species in the whole family) occur nowhere but eastern Asia, North America and Tasmania!
Some well-known species in the Taxodiaceae are the dawn redwood (Metasequoia glyptostrobiodes), California redwood (Sequoia sempervirens), giant sequoia (Sequoiadendron giganteum), and baldcypress (Taxodium distichus).

Ovulate cone, pollination drop, and pollen capture in Sequoiadendron (Taxodiaceae)
Abstract: In Sequoiadendron ovules are borne inside the ovulate cone, and pollination drops secreted from these ovules collect pollen We examined: (1) the relation between ovular position and pollen capture; (2) pollen behavior when in contact with a pollination drop; and (3) ultrastructure of ovules during pollination drop secretion.
