Taiwania
Taiwania
(
Taiwania cryptomerioides
) is a large
coniferous
tree
in the cypress family
Cupressaceae
, formerly listed in the
segregate
family
Taxodiaceae
. It is native to eastern
Asia
, growing in the
mountains
of central
Taiwan
, and locally in southwest
China
(Guizhou, Hubei, Sichuan, Yunnan,
Tibet
) and adjoining
Myanmar
, and northern
Vietnam
. It is
endangered
by
illegal logging
for its valuable
wood
in many areas. It is very likely that the range was more extensive in the past before extensive felling for the wood.
