The Order Pinales in the Division Pinophyta, Class Pinopsida comprises all the extant conifers. Plants are living Organisms belonging to the kingdom Plantae. The family Pinaceae ( pine family) is in the order Pinales and includes many of the well-known Conifers of commercial importance such as Cedars The Araucariaceae are a very ancient family of Conifers They achieved maximum diversity in the Jurassic and Cretaceous periods when they existed almost Podocarpaceae is a large family of mainly Southern Hemisphere Conifers with 18-19 genera and about 170-200 species of Evergreen Trees and The Koyamaki ( Sciadopitys verticillata) or Japanese Umbrella-pine, is a unique Conifer endemic to Japan. The Cupressaceae or Cypress family is a Conifer family with worldwide distribution The family Cephalotaxaceae is a small grouping of Conifers with three genera and about 20 species closely allied to the Taxaceae, and included in that family The family Taxaceae, commonly called the yew family includes three genera and about 7 to 12 species of Coniferous Plants or in other interpretations Extant is a term commonly used to refer to Taxa (such as Species, genera or families) that are still in existence (living This order was formerly known as the Coniferales.

The distinguishing characteristic is the reproductive structure known as a cone produced by all Pinales.

The yews have in the past been separated into a distinct order of their own (Order Taxales), but recent genetic evidence indicates that yews are monophyletic with other conifers and they are now included in the Order Pinales. The Plant order Taxales was in the past treated as a distinct order in the division Pinophyta, class Pinopsida and included only those species in the family
