On the other hand, a species which used to be included in this genus, as Chamaecyparis nootkatensis, had been transferred on the basis of strong genetic and morphological evidence to the separate genus Xanthocyparis as Xanthocyparis nootkatensis in the early 2000s. Genus Fokienia is not always recognized as a separate genus from Chamaecyparis, in which case Chamaecyparis hodginsii (= Fokienia hodginsii) should be added to the above list.

The cones are globose to oval, with 8-14 scales arranged in opposite decussate pairs each scale bears 2-4 small seeds. The leaves are of two types, needle-like juvenile leaves on young seedlings up to a year old, and scale-like adult leaves. They are medium-sized to large evergreen trees growing from 20–70 m (66–230 ft) tall, with foliage in flat sprays. The name is derived from the Greek khamai (χαμαί), meaning "on the earth", and kuparissos (κυπάρισσος) for "cypress". Chamaecyparis, common names cypress or false cypress (to distinguish it from related cypresses), is a genus of conifers in the cypress family Cupressaceae, native to eastern Asia ( Japan and Taiwan) and to the western and eastern margins of the United States.
