There are 17 species in five genera 5 in this small family. The Yews are evergreen trees or shrubs, usually not resinous or aromatic. Yews are dioecious: pollen-bearing (staminate, or male) cones and seed-bearing (pisillate, or female) cones occur on different trees. The Taxaceae are now generally included with all other conifers in the order Pinales.
