Genera

Athrotaxidoideae is a subfamily of conifers in the Cupressaceae group (sometimes called the cypress family). There is one extant genus known as Athrotaxis. There is an extinct genus known as Athrotaxites that belongs to this subfamily which existed during the Cretaceous.[1] Genetic studies show that athrotaxidoids might be close relatives of the redwood family.[2]
