Both The Plant List and GRIN treat\u00a0T. contorta<\/i>\u00a0Griff. as synonym of\u00a0T. wallichiana.<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

I do not have any reference books on Korean flora but do possess a copy of Ohwi’s massive ‘Flora of Japan’ (in English).\u00a0 It (published in 1984) has the ‘Japanese Yew’ as\u00a0Taxus cuspidata<\/i>\u00a0(syn.\u00a0T.baccata<\/i>\u00a0subsp.\u00a0cuspidata<\/i>) with var.\u00a0luteobaccata<\/i>\u00a0aril yellowish around a greenish seed; and var.\u00a0nana<\/i>\u00a0which is much cultivated.\u00a0The species is typically found growing in the mountains. I do not have any information on the up-to-date nomenclature for this tree but it is not mentioned as being found in Korea or China (if such a distribution existed it would have been mentioned in the Flora of Japan).<\/div>\n
‘Flowers of the Himalaya’ had ‘Himalayan Yew’ as\u00a0Taxus baccata<\/i>\u00a0subsp.\u00a0wallichiana<\/i>, as many will know, giving a distribution of Afghanistan to SW China, Myanamar & SE Asia & 2100-3400m.<\/div>\n
Clearly, the specimen photographed in Seoul is a cultivated variety but is it the native species for Korea?\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0 I do not know what this is?<\/div>\n
\n

In the UK we just have\u00a0Taxus baccata<\/i>.\u00a0 I think it will be worthwhile to post some images of the British Yew for comparative purposes.\u00a0 Can anyone tell me how\u00a0Taxus wallichiana<\/i>\u00a0is separated from\u00a0Taxus baccata<\/i>?<\/p>\n

A 2010 document<\/span><\/p>\n

1. Which places\u00a0T. wallichiana<\/i>\u00a0and\u00a0T. baccata<\/i>\u00a0in two different species Groups largely separated on basis of epidermal cells and stomata.

Thank you for\u00a0providing links to this information.\u00a0Clearly, it will take a little time to meaningfully<\/span><\/div>\n
digest the contents.\u00a0 I had been aware that there had been strong disagreements about studies and<\/span><\/div>\n
revisions of Conifers ……..\u00a0 Taxonomists do not always agree and things can get decidedly ‘heated’.
\n<\/span><\/div>\n
We all continue have much to learn about so many genera.\u00a0 I note the section about “Difficulties with the morphological species concept of\u00a0Taxus<\/i>“.
\n<\/span><\/div>\n
Thus not always possible to distinguish between species on the basis of a small number of photos – no matter\u00a0how close-up they are or the level of detail which is practical with most cameras.\u00a0 Or necessarily make sense<\/span><\/div>\n
\n

of conflicting information.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
How about\u00a0T. cuspidata<\/em>, Native of Korea?<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n

You may be right … May be some other member would validate<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
