Common names for trees in this genus can be misleading. What's called a "Port-Orford-cedar" isn't really a cedar because it isn't in the genus Cedrus. In fact, it's not even closely related to the true cedars, which are in the Pine family (Pinaceae). These trees are called "false cypresses" because they are in the Cypress family (Cupressaceae) but not in the true cypress genus, Cupressus. The common names are written with hyphens to indicate that they are not true cedars or cypresses. |
