Notes

Not a natural genus, but a name coined for some hybrids obtained in cultivation. Depending on which genera the parents are considered to belong to, these hybrids have been called x Cuprocyparis (Cupressus x Xanthocyparis), x Cupressocyparis (Cupressus x Chamaecyparis), x Hesperotropsis (Hesperocyparis x Callitropsis), or considered as hybrids of Cupressus (Cupressus x). This cannot be solved here.
