The plant order Taxales was until recently treated as a distinct order in the division Pinophyta , class Pinopsida, and included only those species in the family Taxaceae , known commonly as yews. Under this interpretation, all other conifer s were classified separately in the order Pinales . Recent genetic and wikt micromorphological micromorphological studies have however shown that the Taxaceae are closely related to the other conifers, particularly so to the family Cephalotaxaceae . The order Taxales is therefore no longer recognised as distinct, and the family Taxaceae is now included in the order Pinales. See Pinophyta for more details.

There are no consistent characters by which they can be separated, and genetic evidence demonstrates close relationships this merging is now becoming widely accepted. The one exception, the genus Sciadopitys , is genetically very distinct from all other conifers, and now treated in a family of its own, Sciadopitys Sciadopityaceae .

Unreferenced date December 2009 Fructification Lang la fructificatio is a term used in the plant Morphology biology morphology to denote the generative parts of the plant flower and fruit as opposed to its vegetative parts trunk botany trunk , root s and Leaf leaves . Sometimes it is applied more broadly to the generative parts of gymnosperm s, fern s, horsetail s, and Lycopodiophyta lycophytes , though they produce neither fruit nor flower. Since the works of Andrea Caesalpino 1519 1603 the characters of fructification have been extensively used as a basis for the scientific classification of plants. Carolus Linnaeus 1707 1778 raised the description of the parts of fructification to an unprecedented level of precision. He insisted that genus genera and the higher groups of plants must be characterised in terms of the fructification alone without using vegetative parts which can be used only to characterise the species within genera . At that time it was believed that all plants have flowers and fruits. It was not until the nineteenth century that the important difference between seed s and spore s was recognised and the use of terms flower and fruit was restricted to the flowering plants angiosperm s . Later plant Taxonomy taxonomists used a more balanced approach and re introduced the use of the vegetative parts of the plant as a basis for characters at different levels of taxonomic hierarchy .

Most true palynivores are insect s or mite s. The category in its strictest application includes essentially all bee s, and a few different kinds of wasp s, as pollen is often the only solid food consumed by all life stages in these insects palynivorous mites and thrips typically feed on the liquid content of the pollen grains without actually consuming the exine . The list is expanded greatly if one takes into consideration species where either the larval or adult stage feeds on pollen, but not both there are other wasp s which are in this category, as well as many beetle s, flies , butterflies , and moth s. There is a vast array of different insects that will feed opportunistically on pollen, as will various birds and other nectarivore s.

The podocarps are associated with the ancient supercontinent of Gondwana, where they were characteristic of the cool, moist southern Gondwana flora. Gondwana broke up into the continents of South America, Africa, India, Australia and Antarctica. Antarctica is the southernmost continent and encompasses the South Pole. Antarctica is surrounded by the Southern Ocean and divided by the Transantarctic Mountains, between 160 and 30 million years ago. As Africa drifted north it became hotter and drier, and the podocarps generally retreated to the cool moist highlands of eastern and southern Africa.
