+'''''Torreya''''' is a genus of [[Pinophyta|conifers]] comprising five or six species, treated in either the [[Cephalotaxaceae]], or in the [[Taxaceae]] when that family is considered in a broad sense. Four are native to eastern [[Asia]], the other two native to [[North America]]. They are small to medium sized [[evergreen]] [[tree]]s reaching 5-20 m, rarely 25 m, tall. Common names include '''Nutmeg yew'''.<ref>Eckenwalder, J.E. 2009. ''Conifers of the World: The Complete Reference''. Timber Press.</ref>

-| common_names =     <!--- if multiple, list all, if none, leave blank -->
+The [[leaf|leaves]] are spirally arranged on the shoots, but twisted at the base to lie in two flat ranks; they are linear, 2-8 cm long and 3-4 mm broad, hard in texture, with a sharp spine tip.
-| growth_habit = ?   <!--- tree, shrub, herbaceous, vine, etc -->
-| high = ?   <!--- 1m (3 ft) -->
+''Torreya'' can be either [[plant sexuality|monoecious]] or [[plant sexuality|dioecious]]; when monoecious, the male and female [[conifer cone|cones]] are often on different branches. The male ([[pollen]]) cones are 5-8 mm long, grouped in lines along the underside of a shoot. The female ([[seed]]) cones are single or grouped 2-8 together on a short stem; minute at first, they mature in about 18 months to a [[drupe]]-like structure with the single large [[nut (fruit)|nut]]-like seed 2-4 cm long surrounded by a fleshy covering, green to purple at full maturity. In some species, notably the [[Japan]]ese ''[[Torreya nucifera]]'' ('''Kaya'''), the seed is edible. Natural dispersal is thought to be aided by [[squirrel]]s which bury the seeds for a winter food source; any seeds left uneaten are then able to germinate.

+''[[Torreya californica]]'' ('''California Torreya''') is [[endemic (ecology)|endemic]] in [[California]]. It is the largest species, reaching 25 m tall.
