Taxus cuspidata, Sieb. & Zucc. (T. baccata var. cuspidata, Carr.). Tree, attaining 50 ft., with a trunk usually 2 ft. diam.: bark bright red: branches ascending: lvs. usually falcate, thickish, distinctly and abruptly mucronate, dark green above, pale fulvous green or pale green beneath, 1/2-l in. long: fr. with ovoid seed slightly 3-4-angled and 1/5 in. long. Japan. S.I.F. 1:15. Very similar to T. baccata, but branches stouter and lvs. darker green above and tinged yellowish beneath, somewhat broader, more abruptly mucronate and thicker in texture. Var. nana, Rehd. (var. brevifolia, Hort. Amer. Var. compacta, Bean). Shrubby form with spreading branches densely clothed with short branchlets: lvs. somewhat shorter and duller, ascending and not or scarcely 2-ranked: slow-growing, rather compact while young, but with age becoming more open. C.L.A. 11:308. F.E. 29:409. Gn. M. 2:11. Var. densa, Rehd. Low form making a dense sometimes almost hemispherical bush with ascending branchlets: lvs. like those of the preceding form. Var. chinensis, Rehd. & Wilson (T. baccata var. chinensis, Pilger). Lvs. more falcate, lighter green, 3/4 – 1 3/4 in. long, convex above with the midrib very slightly raised: seeds broadly ovoid, slightly compressed, slightly 2-angled. Cent. and W. China.—This variety fruits very profusely. The plant offered as var. capitata does not differ from typical T. cuspidata.

+'''''Taxus wallichiana''''' (syn. ''Taxus baccata'' subsp. ''wallichiana'', commonly known as '''Himalayan Yew''') is a [[species]] of [[taxus|yew]], native to the [[Himalaya]] from [[Afghanistan]] east to western [[Yunnan]] in southwestern [[China]], at altitudes from 2,000–3,500 m.<ref name=farjona>Farjon, A. (1998). ''World Checklist and Bibliography of Conifers''. Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew ISBN 1-900347-54-7.</ref><ref name=rushforthc>Rushforth, K. (1987). ''Conifers''. Helm ISBN 0-7470-2801-X.</ref>

+It is a medium-sized [[evergreen]] [[Pinophyta|coniferous]] [[tree]] growing to 20 m tall, similar to ''[[Taxus baccata]]'' and sometimes treated as a [[subspecies]] of it. The shoots are green at first, becoming brown after three or four years. The [[leaf|leaves]] are thin, flat, slightly [[leaf shape|falcate]] ([[sickle]]-shaped), 1.5–2.7&nbsp;cm long and 2&nbsp;mm broad, with a softly mucronate apex; they are arranged spirally on the shoots but twisted at the base to appear in two horizontal ranks on all except for erect lead shoots. It is [[plant sexuality|dioecious]], with the male and female [[conifer cone|cones]] on separate plants; the seed cone is highly modified, [[berry]]-like, with a single scale developing into a soft, juicy red [[aril]] 1&nbsp;cm diameter, containing a single dark brown [[seed]] 7&nbsp;mm long. The [[pollen]] cones are globose, 4&nbsp;mm diameter, produced on the undersides of the shoots in early spring.<ref name=rushforthc/>
