   Taxaceae is a family of coniferous trees or shrubs that includes several species known as yews. This family is characterized by having evergreen, needle-like leaves, seed cones with only one seed, and fleshy arils surrounding the seeds. The members of this family are native to the Northern Hemisphere and are known for their high toxicity. Some species in the Taxaceae family are commonly used for ornamental purposes and their wood is valued for its strength and durability. Some species of yews are also used in the production of Taxol, a chemotherapy drug.

1. Taxaceae

   Taxaceae, commonly called the yew family, is a coniferous family which includes seven genera and about 30 species of plants, or in older interpretations three genera and 7 to 12 species. They are many-branched, small trees and shrubs. The leaves are evergreen, spirally arranged, often twisted at the base to appear 2-ranked. They are linear to lanceolate, and have pale green or white stomatal bands on the undersides. The plants are dioecious, rarely monoecious. The male cones are 2–5 millimetres long, and shed pollen in the early spring. The female cones are highly reduced, with just one ovuliferous scale and one seed. As the seed matures, the ovuliferous scale develops into a fleshy aril partly enclosing the seed. 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. However, the seeds are highly poisonous to humans, containing the poisons Taxine and Taxol.
