247	2024-01-14 11:36:59		Vascular Plants: Gymnosperms	Taxaceae	35613	Taxus brevifolia		species		Y	N	N	N	N	N	N	Native	Occurring on both sides of the Cascades crest in Washington;	{"Herbarium":"WTU"}	FNA2: "The name <i>Taxus baccata</i> Hooker has been misapplied to this species.<br><br>The leaves of <i>Taxus brevifolia</i> are usually somewhat falcate.<br><br>The wood of <i>Taxus brevifolia</i> is hard and durable, yet easily worked, making it popular for construction of novelty items by local woodworkers. Because of this, large trees are unscrupulously poached; in some areas the species has been nearly extirpated. The bark of the tree is a promising natural source of taxol, a drug for treating various cancers; exploitation of the species for medicinal purposes is further threatening it."
