Calocedrus
''Calocedrus'' (common name incense cedar, alternatively spelled incense-cedar) is a genus of coniferous trees in the cypress family Cupressaceae first described as a genus in 1873.〔(Kurz, Wilhelm Sulpiz. 1873. Journal of Botany, British and Foreign 11: 196 )〕〔(Tropicos, ''Calocedrus'' Kurz )〕 It is native to eastern Asia and western North America.〔(Kew World Checklist of Selected Plant Families, ''Calocedrus'' )〕
The generic name means "beautiful cedar".
==Description==
The genus is related to the ''Thuja'', and has similar overlapping scale-leaves. ''Calocedrus'' differs from ''Thuja'' in the scale leaves being in apparent whorls of four (actually opposite decussate pairs like ''Thuja'', but not evenly spaced apart as in ''Thuja'', instead with the successive pairs closely then distantly spaced), and in the cones having just 2–3 pairs of moderately thin, erect scales, rather than 4–6 pairs of very thin scales in ''Thuja''.
