Cephalotaxus lanceolata is a coniferous tree in the plum yew family.

Of the several species that exist in the genus, the Japanese plum yew is the one most often encountered in western gardens.

The tomb keeper's house, by the park entrance, consists of two buildings in a walled courtyard containing an old Chinese juniper and a Korean plum yew.

The Japanese plum yew was first considered to be a yew when it was partially described by Thomas Andrew Knight in 1839 and as such was named Taxus harringtonii.

Cephalotaxus harringtonia, commonly known as Cowtail Pine or Japanese Plum Yew, is a coniferous bush or small tree in the plum yew family.

The first plots were planted with Chilean plum yew by Boy Scouts celebrating their centenary in 2007, and future plantings will include samples from Europe, Asia, North America and Australasia.

And for gardeners plagued by deer, the Japanese plum yew, Cephalotaxus harringtonia Prostrata, is a low-growing evergreen that tolerates clay, likes sun or shade and apparently tastes terrible to voracious deer.

Tiantangzhai is home to more than 1,000 plant and animal species including various types of oak and cherry-apple trees as well as protected plants such as the Chinese Plum Yew and Chinese tulip tree.

Prumnopitys andina (Lleuque), the Chilean plum yew, is an evergreen coniferous tree native to south-central Chile and a few areas in adjacent parts of westernmost Argentina from 36 to 40 South latitude.

Cephalotaxus, commonly called Plum Yew or Cowtail Pine, is a genus of conifers comprising 11 species, treated in either the Cephalotaxaceae, or in the Taxaceae when that family is considered in a broad sense.

Japanese plum yew has been in cultivation in Europe since 1829, many modern horticulturists are familiar with the Japanese species Cephalotaxus harringtonia, named in honor of the Earl of Harrington, one of the first to grow the plant in a European garden.

Cephalotaxus harringtonia, commonly known as Cowtail Pine or Japanese Plum Yew, is a coniferous bush or small tree in the plum yew family.

Cephalotaxus, commonly called Plum Yew or Cowtail Pine, is a genus of conifers comprising 11 species, treated in either the Cephalotaxaceae, or in the Taxaceae when that family is considered in a broad sense.

More recent studies have included, with Cephalotaxus, in a broader interpretation of Taxaceae as a single larger family (Price, 2003).

Mr. Petrie also showed off a cephalotaxus, which looks like a cross between a yew (which deer love) and a rosemary bush.

Species of plants listed as threatened by IUCN include conifer Cephalotaxus mannii.

The species is one of two members of the family Cupressaceae while the third conifer species, the plum-yew Cephalotaxus ningmingensis was described in 2010.

They differ from the related genus Cephalotaxus in the broader leaves, and from Torreya by the blunt, not spine-tipped leaves.

In these areas, it is also sometimes known as "Plum-yew" or "Plum-fruited Yew", though these names are more commonly applied to plants in the genus Cephalotaxus (Cephalotaxaceae).

Some studies in the early 2000's suggested the genera Torreya and Amentotaxus were better transferred to Cephalotaxaceae, as genetic tests showed they are were more closely related to Cephalotaxus than to Taxus.

It was then moved into the current genus by Philipp Franz von Siebold and Joseph Gerhard Zuccarini in 1846, though with a new specific name, making the new name Cephalotaxus drupacea.
