Taiwan has only one native Taxus species, the Taiwan yew (Taxus mairei), and due to the effects of climate and other features of the natural environment, it is only found in areas of mixed broad-leaved and coniferous forest in the Central Mountain Range, at elevations between 2300 and 2700 meters.
台灣只產紅豆杉一種紅豆杉屬植物，受氣候等天然環境影響，分佈範圍又侷限在中央山脈海拔二千三百至二千七百公呎的「針、闊葉樹混合林帶」裡。
