Cephalotaxus mannii |
Cephalotaxus mannii is a species of plant in the family Taxaceae. It is a tree up to about 20 metres (66 ft) tall, native to southern China, northeast India, Laos, northern Thailand, northern Myanmar and northern Vietnam.[2][3] While the species is widespread, its populations are fragmented and it is threatened by cutting for timber as well as for using its bark and leaves for medicinal extracts.[1]
Sometimes (e.g.[2][3]) the species Cephalotaxus griffithii and Cephalotaxus hainanensis are considered synonyms of this species.
