Abstract: We made an in‐depth review of historical studies of the cupressophyte conifer genus Cephalotaxus Siebold & Zucc. with an emphasis on its systematic position. We suggest that the systematic position of the genus is better understood using an integrative approach, so the evolution of phenetic characters is discussed within the context of recent phylogenomics. We propose that the genus should be classified as a separate family Cephalotaxaceae belonging to the clade consisting of Cupressaceae, Cephalotaxaceae, and Taxaceae; the family Cephalotaxaceae is sister to the Taxaceae but not nested within the Taxaceae and is characterized by a unique set of characters including morphology, anatomy, embryology, and chemistry. The family Cephalotaxaceae shows transitional characters between the Cupressaceae and the Taxaceae; the family possesses female cones with a primary cone axis bearing 5–8 pairs of decussate bracts, which is similar to the typical female cones of the Cupressaceae, on the one hand, and may have given rise to the reduced female cone of the Taxaceae with one terminal ovule partially or completely enclosed in a fleshy aril. In parallel, the compound male cone of the Cephalotaxaceae evolved into the seemingly "simple" male cones of the Taxaceae by means of reduction, elimination, and fusion. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
