 '''Taiwania''' (''Taiwania cryptomerioides'') is a large [[Pinophyta|coniferous]] [[tree]] in the cypress family [[Cupressaceae]], formerly listed in the [[segregate (taxonomy)|segregate]] family Taxodiaceae. It is native to eastern [[Asia]], growing in the [[mountain]]s of central [[Taiwan]], and locally in southwest [[China]] and adjoining [[Myanmar]] and northern [[Vietnam]]. It is [[endangered species|endangered]] by [[illegal logging]] for its valuable [[wood]] in many areas. It is very likely that the range was more extensive in the past before extensive felling for the wood.
-It is one of the largest tree species in Asia, reported to heights of 80 m tall and with a trunk up to 4 m diameter above buttressed base<ref name=farjon>Farjon, A. (2005). ''Monograph of Cupressaceae and Sciadopitys''. Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew. ISBN 1-84246-068-4</ref>. The [[leaf|leaves]] are needle-like or awl-like and 8-15&nbsp;mm long on young trees up to about 100 years old, then gradually becoming more scale-like, 3-7&nbsp;mm long, on mature trees. The [[conifer cone|cones]] are small, 15-25&nbsp;mm long, with about 15-30 thin, fragile scales, each scale with two [[seed]]s.

 The populations in mainland Asia are treated as a distinct species ''Taiwania flousiana'' by some botanists, but the claimed differences between these and the Taiwanese population are not consistent when a number of specimens from each area are compared.
