Pond cypress

Taxodium distichum var. imbricarium

Kew accepts Taxodium distichum var. imbricarium; Taxodium ascendens remains the common trade and UF/IFAS label, with Florida sources also using Taxodium distichum var. nutans.

Kew accepts Taxodium distichum var. mexicanum and treats Taxodium mucronatum as a synonym; growers, nurseries, and bonsai collections still commonly use Montezuma cypress, ahuehuete, and Taxodium mucronatum.
