There are at least 20 species of Gymnosperms or Coniferous plants in Montana. 〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Montana Field Guide-Conifers )〕 The conifers, division Pinophyta, also known as division Coniferophyta or Coniferae, are one of 13 or 14 division level taxa within the Kingdom Plantae. Pinophytes are gymnosperms. They are cone-bearing seed plants with vascular tissue; all extant conifers are woody plants, the great majority being trees with just a few being shrubs. Typical examples of conifers include cedars, Douglas-firs, cypresses, firs, junipers, kauris, larches, pines, hemlocks, redwoods, spruces, and yews.〔Campbell, Reece, "Phylum Coniferophyta."Biology. 7th. 2005. Print. P.595〕 The division contains approximately eight families, 68 genera, and 630 living species.〔(Catalogue of Life: 2007 Annual checklist - Conifer database )〕〔Lott, J., Liu, J., Pennell, K., Lesage, A., & West, M.
