Torreya Arnott. Torreya, Stinking Cedar.
The genus consists of 7 species, trees, of temperate regions of the Northern Hemisphere – 1 in FL and adjacent GA, 1 in CA, 1 in Japan, and 4 in c. and s. China and adjacent Burma (Price 1990a; Zhou, Harris, & Xiang 2022). Zhou, Harris, & Xiang (2022) studied the phylogeography of Torreya; our southeastern North American species is sister to Californian Torreya californica, which together form a clade sister to a clade of the 5 Asian species.
