Cupressus chengiana is a species of conifer in the cypress family, Cupressaceae, and is placed in the order Pinales and the class Pinopsida. The tree is endemic to China, which means it is found nowhere else in the world; its natural range is limited to the provinces of Gansu and Sichuan. The accepted botanical name carries the authority S.Y.Hu according to the Global Biodiversity Information Facility backbone, which treats it as a valid species of the genus Cupressus. Beyond its classification and its restricted Chinese range, the sources read for this entry state little else about the tree, so no further claims are made here.
