Taxonomy

[edit]

Hesperocyparis benthamii was scientifically described by the Austrian botanist Stephan Endlicher in 1847 and given the scientific name Cupressus benthamii. It has at times been considered a subspecies of what was then known as Cupressus lusitanica. As of 2024 it is listed as a species in the genus Hesperocyparis, the western cypresses, by Plants of the World Online and World Flora Online.[1][2]
