Caveats - This list of citations is not intended to be comprehensive and I make no claims to that effect. I have included mostly references to Taxus brevifolia that I found without extensive searching, articles published by individuals I know, major Taxus and Taxol tomes, or publications that touch on what I consider interesting related topics. All were published since 1990. I do not have, and have not read, all of these citations. I cannot, therefore, vouch for their accuracy, or veracity. Most of the books listed here have good bibliographies as well.
