This family of conifers, superficially similar to Cupressaceae, was a significant part of the flora of the Mesozoic, around ( Axsmith " et al . ", 2004 ).

The coniferous vegetation is represented by two gymnosperm families, Cupressaceae ( Diselma archeri, Athrotaxis cupressoides, A . selaginoides ) and Podocarpaceae ( Michrocachrys tetragona, Microstrobos niphophilus, Podocarpus lawrencei ).

In Pinaceae, Araucariaceae, Sciadopityaceae and most Cupressaceae, the cones are woody, and when mature the scales usually spread open allowing the seeds to fall out and be dispersed by the wind.

Together with " Sequoia sempervirens " ( coast redwood ) and " Sequoiadendron giganteum " ( giant sequoia ) of California, " Metasequoia " is classified in the Cupressaceae subfamily Sequoioideae.
28.
Low-lying conifers of the Cupressaceae ( " Diselma archerii " ) and Podocarpaceae ( " Microachrys tetragona ", " Phaerosphaera hookeriana " ) are also common in these sclerophyllous heaths.
29.
The seedlings of many conifers, including most of the Cupressaceae, and " Pinus " in Pinaceae, have a distinct juvenile foliage period where the leaves are different, often markedly so, from the typical adult leaves.
30.
The larger flora include " Nothofagus ", " Beilschmiedia ", " Adenodaphne ", Winteraceae, Myrtaceae, southern sassafras ( Atherospermataceae ), conifers of Araucariaceae, Podocarpaceae, and Cupressaceae, and tree ferns.
