GENERIC INTER-RELATIONSHIPS IN PINACEAE
by M. P. Frankis
NOTES Royal Botanical Garden Edinburgh
Notes RBG Edinb. 45(3): 527-548 (1988)
A study of the intergeneric relationships in the family Pinaceae based on the morphology of a variety of reproductive and vegetative parts indicates the presence of eleven genera arranged in four subfamilies. The subfamily Piceoideae Frankis, subfam. nov. is proposed, and the circumscriptions of subfamilies Laricoideae Melch. & Werd. and Abietoideae Pilger are emended.

Internet Resource - Identification key of the Cypress family (Cupressaceae) by C. Schulz & P. Knopf
"With this identification key, for the first time the determination of each Cupressaceae taxon is possible, as well as the flexible identification of different types of specimens (like female cones, vegetative specimens, herbarium specimens, specimens from cultivars etc.)."
"The key comprises any of the 30 genera, 134 species, 7 subspecies, 38 varieties, 1 form, and thus all 180 taxa recognized by FARJON (2001). The key uses 123 morphological characters. These characters are divided into 19 character subsets (habit, trunk, bark, crown, branch, branchlet, leaves, needle leaves, scale leaves, lateral leaves, facial leaves, male cone, male cone scales, female cone, female cone scales, columella, seeds, seed wings, supplements)."
"In addition, the key contains all in all 1,112 macroscopic photos in order to test the plausibility of the identification result."
