Abietoideae is a subfamily of the conifer family Pinaceae. The name is from the genus Abies (firs), which contains most of the species in the genus. Six genera are currently assigned to this subfamily: Abies, Cedrus, Keteleeria, Nothotsuga, Pseudolarix, and Tsuga. The group was formerly treated as a separate family, the Abietaceae, by some plant taxonomy systems, such as the Wettstein system.[citation needed]
Phylogeny
Based on transcriptome analysis, Cedrus is sister to the rest of the Abietoideae.[1]
