[edit] Etymology

I would like to see some documentation that the ancient Romans used the word "cedrus" or that the ancient Greeks used the word "kedros" only for species now classified in the genus Cedrus and for no other plants. I have seen some references suggesting that the ancient Greeks and Romans used this word for several trees and shrubs with strongly aromatic wood, including Juniperus. At any rate, trying to apply phylogenetic concepts to pre-Linnaean terms like "cedar" and "cedrus" is always fraught with nomenclatural peril. MrDarwin 19:45, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Scientific names

According to the IUCN Red List [1] there are 4 distinct species of Cedars (Cedrus brevifolia, Cedrus atlantica, Cedrus deodara and Cedrus libani).
