  1. Taxus baccata

    Taxus baccata is a species of evergreen tree in the family Taxaceae, native to western, central and southern Europe (including Britain and Ireland), northwest Africa, northern Iran, and southwest Asia. It is the tree originally known as yew, though with other related trees becoming known, it may now be known as common yew, English yew, or European yew. It is primarily grown as an ornamental. Most parts of the plant are poisonous, with toxins that can be absorbed through inhalation and through the skin; consumption of even a small amount of the foliage can result in death.

  1. taxus baccata

    Taxus baccata, commonly known as the English yew or European yew, is a species of coniferous tree, native to western, central and southern Europe, northwest Africa, northern Iran and southwest Asia. Its notable characteristics include reddish-brown bark, lanceolate, flat, green leaves arranged spirally on the stem, and a single seed partially surrounded by a modified scale which forms a bright red, soft, berry-like structure called an aril. Due to its toxic nature, it is often planted in churchyards and gardens. The wood has been traditionally used for making longbows in archery.
