	~~__NOTOC__{{Plantbox~~		'''''Torreya''''' is a genus of [[Pinophyta\|conifers]] comprising five or six species, treated in either the [[Cephalotaxaceae]], or in the [[Taxaceae]] when that family is considered in a broad sense. Four are native to eastern [[Asia]], the other two native to [[North America]]. They are small to medium sized [[evergreen]] [[tree]]s reaching 5-20 m, rarely 25 m, tall. Common names include '''Nutmeg yew'''.<ref>Eckenwalder, J.E. 2009. ''Conifers of the World: The Complete Reference''. Timber Press.</ref>
	~~\| latin_name =~~ ''~~LATINNAME~~'' ~~<!--- replace LATINNAME with the actual latin name -->~~
	\| ~~common_names = <!--- if multiple~~, ~~list all~~, ~~if none~~, ~~leave blank -->~~		The [[leaf\|leaves]] are spirally arranged on the shoots, but twisted at the base to lie in two flat ranks; they are linear, 2-8 cm long and 3-4 mm broad, hard in texture, with a sharp spine tip.
	~~\| growth_habit = ? <!-~~-~~- tree~~, ~~shrub~~, ~~herbaceous, vine, etc -->~~
	~~\| high = ?~~ <~~!--- 1m (3 ft) --~~>		''Torreya'' can be either [[plant sexuality\|monoecious]] or [[plant sexuality\|dioecious]]; when monoecious, the male and female [[conifer cone\|cones]] are often on different branches. The male ([[pollen]]) cones are 5-8 mm long, grouped in lines along the underside of a shoot. The female ([[seed]]) cones are single or grouped 2-8 together on a short stem; minute at first, they mature in about 18 months to a [[drupe]]-like structure with the single large [[nut (fruit)\|nut]]-like seed 2-4 cm long surrounded by a fleshy covering, green to purple at full maturity. In some species, notably the [[Japan]]ese ''[[Torreya nucifera]]'' ('''Kaya'''), the seed is edible. Natural dispersal is thought to be aided by [[squirrel]]s which bury the seeds for a winter food source; any seeds left uneaten are then able to germinate.
