ABSTRACT Living Cephalotaxus (plum yews) occurs mainly in East Asia and North of Indo-China peninsula. The study of original taxonomic literatures found that, in early days, the plum yews had ever been described as palnts of Taxus (Taxaceae). Since after the genus name Cephalotaxus Sieb. & Zucc. was firstly cited (from inedited and unpublished Flora Japonica) by Endlicher in 1842, most taxonomist thought which is the earliest time of the genus Cephalotaxus Sieb. & Zucc. was set. However, the genus Cephalotaxus Sieb. & Zucc. was formally effective and valid published by Sieb. & Zucc. in Flora Japonica in 1870 so that there exists some confusions in chronological order. Originally as a genus, Cephalo- taxus was included in family Taxaceae and Neger (1907) separated Cephalotaxus from Taxaceae and set family Cephalotaxaceae. Later, Fu (1984) divided Cephalotaxus up into two sections of Cephalotaxus Sieb. & Zucc. sect. Pectinatae L. K. Fu and Cephalotaxus Sieb. & Zucc. sect. Cephalotaxus L. K. Fu on the bases of C. oliveri Masters differ significantly from other taxa of Cephalotaxus in morphological characteristics. Although the plum yews was a little genus of conifers, up to now, about 77 taxa have still been published by taxonomist in different countries or re- gions. Among them, C. tardiva Sieb. ex Endl. (1847), C. umbraculifera Sieb. ex Endl. (1847), C. sumatrana Miq. (1856) and C. celebica Warb. (1900) have been combined to Taxus, and C. argotaenia (Hance) Pilger (1903) has been com- bined to Amentotaxus. And at the same time, those taxa existing in Cephalotaxus courently which were accepted by most taxonomist in different countries were also cited in acticle. Lastly, the paper found presently there still exists many debates about binary classification of Cephalotaxus and the nomenclature of this genus still particularly confusing. Based on some controversial problems, we also point out some taxonomically researching directions at creating some order out of the chaos. Keywords: Cephalotaxus, Taxonomic History, Literatures Arrangements, Controversial Problems, Researching Directions 1. Introduction Living plants of Cephalotaxus (plum yews) was a little taxon of conifers which occurs mainly in East Asia and North of Indo-China peninsula—Japan (Ohwi [1]), Korea (Nakai [2]), Chinese Mainland (Fu [3]) and Taiwan (Li and Keng [4]), Northeast India (Hook. f. [5]), Burma (Fu [3]), Laos (Newman [6]; Thomas et al. [7]), Tailand (Phengklai [8]; Werner [9]), Malysia (Forbes [10]), and parts of Vietnam (Hiep et al. [11]) (Figure 1). The mod- ern natural range of Cephalotaxus has diminished con- siderably from that of its early antecedents was found in Europe and northwestern North America in the Mio- ceneand Pliocene eras, and even during the Jurassicera its antecedents also extended into what is now Greenland (Tripp [12]). In early days, the plum yews were described as palnts of Taxus (Taxaceae) which can be known from Forbes [10] named a plant, growing on the Penang Range of mountains in Malaysia and was introduced to England in 1837 by Mr. Knight, as Taxus harringtonii Knight ex Forbes (“harringtonia”) (now it is a basionmy of Cephalo- taxus harringtonii (Knight ex Forbes) Koch [13]). And since two names (two nomen nudum) of C. drupacea Sieb. et Zucc. and C. pedunculata Sieb. et Zucc. were first at the same time used by Siebold and Zuccarini [14] in Florae Japonicae Familiae Naturales (page 108) or Abhandlungen der Akademie der Wissenschaften in München (page 232),
The Taxonomic History and Original Literatures Arrangements of Living Cephalotaxus (Cephalotaxaceae) 497 Figure 1. The distribution of Cephalotaxus. and the genus name Cephalotaxus Sieb. & Zucc. (End- licher cited from Flora Japonica II inedited at that time and publicated in 1870) was firstly cited by Endlicher [15] in his Generum Plantarum Supplementum Quartum, the name of genus Cephalotaxus was widely used in many literatures. However, the three names of Cephalotaxus Sieb. & Zucc., C. drupacea Sieb. et Zucc., and C. pe- dunculata Sieb. et Zucc. were formally effective and valid published in Flora Japonica in 1870, This has some confusions in chronological order so that it is not easy to understand the taxonomic history of Cephalo- taxus. Originally as a genus, Cephalotaxus was included in family Taxaceae with other genera like Torreya, Taxu s, and Pseudotaxus together (Pilger [16]). Then, Neger [17] separated Cephalotaxus from Taxaceae and set family Cephalotaxaceae based on female cones of Cephalotaxus have marked differences with other taxa of Taxaceae. While today Cephalotaxus is most often considered the single genus of the coniferous Cephalotaxaceae and the taxonomic status of Cephalotaxus (Cephalotaxaceae) has already been approved by most botainist, although a few authors(e.g., Pilger [18]; Phillips [19]) also include Amentotaxus in the Cephalotaxaceae, resulting in occa- sional references in the literature to two genera in the Cephalotaxaceae (Tripp [12]). Later, Fu [3] divided Cep- halotaxus up into two sections of Cephalotaxus Sieb. & Zucc. sect. Pectinatae L. K. Fu and Cephalotaxus Sieb. & Zucc. sect. Cephalotaxus L. K. Fu, on the bases of C. oliveri Masters differ significantly from other taxa of Cephalotaxus in morphological characteristics. Cepha- lotaxus Sieb. & Zucc. sect. Pectinatae L. K. Fu included only one species of C. oliveri Masters, and Cephalotaxus Sieb. & Zucc. sect. Cephalotaxus L. K. Fu included all other taxa of Cephalotaxus. 2. Published Taxa of Cephalotaxus (Cephalotaxaceae) After the name of Cephalotaxus Sieb. & Zucc. was cited and descripted by Endlicher [15], about more than 70 taxa of Cephalotaxu s was published (Nakai [2,44]; Fu [3]; Koch [13]; Siebold and Zuccarini [14,21]; Endlicher [15]; Copyright © 2011 SciRes.

The Taxa have been Combined to Taxus or Amentotaxus Among all the taxa of Cephalotaxus published in the above Table 1, C. argotaenia (Hance) Pilger (1916) has been combined to Amentotaxus (Pilger [40]). C. tardiva Sieb. ex Endl. (1847), C. umbraculifera Sieb. ex Endl. (1847), C. sumatrana Miq.(1856) and C. celebica Warb. (1900) have been combined to Taxus (Li and Keng [4]; Spjut [59]).

The Taxa Existing in Cephalotaxus Courently Presently, there is no agreement or monographon Cepha- lotaxus available about how many species Cephalotaxus should contain is more appropriate. Except for C. oliveri Masters, some controversial problems exist in almost all taxa. This is mainly because the key taxonomic charac- ters, such as stomatal band whiteness, length and shape of needle, and bark color and so on, are mostly morpho- logical intergrades so that there has some difficulties when we identify individual plants, which chiefly de- pending on decisions of taxonomist in different countries. Generally thinking, C. harringtonii (Knight ex Forbes) Koch., C. harringtonii (Knight ex Forbes) Koch var. nana (Nakai) Rehder., C. koreana Nakai, and C. har- ringtonii (Knight ex Forbes) Koch cv. “Fastigiata” oc- curs in Japan and South Korea were accepted by tax- onomist of Japan and South Korea (Ohwi [1]; KPNI [60]); C. wilsoniana Hayata is endemic to Taiwan (Li and Keng [4]); Chinese mainland taxonomist (Fu [3]) argue that C. mannii Hook. f., C. griffithii Hook. f. and C. hainanensis H. L. Li was the same species, and C. for- tunei Hook. var. concolor Franch. (“fortuni”) was a synonym of C. fortunei Hook., and accepted that C. for- tunei Hook. (“fortuni”), C. alpina (Li) L. K. Fu, C. lanceolata K. M. Feng apud W. C. Cheng et al., C. sinensis (Rehder & Wilson) H. L. Li, C. latifolia W. C. Cheng & L. K. Fu ex L. K. Fu & R. R. Mill., C. mannii Hook. f., and C. oliveri Masters distribute in China; C. mannii Hook. f. and C. griffithii Hook. f. was considerely grown in India, Burma, Laos, Tailand and Vietnam (Fu [3]; Newman [6]; Thomas et al. [7]); Werner [9]; Phengklai [61]. Furthermore, Silba [56] published two taxa, grown in Japan and Tailand, of C. harringtonii (Knight ex Forbes) Koch subsp. hokkaidoensis Silba and C. mannii Hook. f. subsp. thailandensis (Silba) Silba; And another two taxa C. Harringtonii (Knight ex Forbes) Koch var. sphaeralis (Mast.) Rehder (1914) and C. sinen- sis (Rehder & Wilson) H. L. Li f. globosa (Rehder & Jackson) H. L. Li (1953) was rarely cited by taxonomist after published. Here these taxa was wrote as follow: C. Harringtonii (Knight ex Forbes) Koch. Dendr. 2(2): 102. 1873.

Controversial Problems and Researching Directions Today, there still exists many debates about binary clas- sification of Cephalotaxus. most taxonomist agreed with the view of that C. drupacea Sieb. & Zucc. and C. pe- dunculata Sieb. & Zucc. was merged into C. harringtonii (Knight ex Forbes) Koch (Fu [3]; Rehder [42]); C. dru- pacea Sieb. & Zucc. and C. harringtonii (Knight ex Forbes) Koch had considerately been distributed in China (Gordon [28]; Masters et al. [31]; Pilger [39]; Hu [51]; Kitamura, [52]); Hu [51] thought that perhaps C. hain- anensis H. L. Li, C. griffithii Hook. f., and C. harring- tonii (Knight ex Forbes) Koch. was the same taxon; Silba [56] claimed C. koreana Nakai was a subspecies of C. harringtonii (Knight ex Forbes) K. Koch and there was this plant in Northeast China. From the above discussions, we can see that although the plum yews was a little genus of conifers, up to now, about 77 taxa have still been published by taxonomist in different areas. Perhaps, which is principally because botanist in different countries or regions seldom commu- nicated with each other in the past owing to information hindrance. However, so many taxa and their indistinct boundaries existed in between majorities of taxa made presently the nomenclature of this genus still particularly confusing. Hence, one must simply dive in and make a first attempt at creating some order out of the chaos. We tend to argree that it is probobly proper to treat C. for- tunei Hook., C. alpina (Li) L. K. Fu, C. lanceolata K. M. Feng apud W. C. Cheng et al., C. oliveri Mast. and C. koreana Nakai as the ranks of species, but we think that the following problems are still worthy of studying fur- ther: 1) Perhaps C. sinensis (Rehder & Wilson) H. L. Li and C. wilsoniana Hayata was the same taxon. 2) Whether or not C. mannii Hook. f., C. griffithii Hook. f. and C. hainanensis H. L. Li were the same spe- cies still needs to look for more evidence. 3) It seems that C. latifolia W. C. Cheng & L. K. Fu ex L. K. Fu & R. R. Mill. distribute in China and C. harring- tonii (Knight ex Forbes) Koch var. nana (Nakai) Rehder grown in Japan and South Korea was the same taxon. 4) The relationship between C. sinensis (Rehder & Wilson) H. L. Li and C. harringtonii (Knight ex Forbes) Koch is also an issue to deserve research. 5) The specimen typus of C. harringtonii (Knight ex Forbes) Koch occurs courently in Japan and Korea was firstly found on the Penang Range of mountains in Ma- laysia, however, why does not this plant distribute in China and other areas located in the same continuous floral region with Japan and Korea? 6) The taxonomic status of C. Harringtonii (Knight ex Forbes) Koch var. sphaeralis (Mast.) Rehder and C. sinensis (Rehder & Wilson) H. L. Li f. globosa (Rehder & Jackson) H. L. Li (1953) is also a problem need to study. According to Li [45], Possibly C. sinensis (Rehder & Wilson) H. L. Li f. globosa (Rehder & Jackson) H. L. Li may prove to be identical with C. Harringtonii (Knight ex Forbes) Koch var. sphaeralis (Mast.) Rehder, but no further comment can be made. 7) Whether C. harringtonii (Knight ex Forbes) Koch subsp. hokkaidoensis Silba and C. mannii Hook. f. subsp. thailandensis (Silba) Silba published by Silba [60] should be treated as a subspecies or should be mergered into other taxa also needs to more discuss. 6.
