The two most recent treatments of Australian Callitris are by K.D.Hill, Fl. Australia 48: 576-588 (1998) and A.Farjon, Monogr. Cupressaceae Sciadopitys 496-546 (2005). Farjon adopts a broader taxonomic concept than Hill, and synonymises some of the taxa recognised by him. Hill's concepts have generally been adopted by most jurisdictions, but some states (e.g. WA) recognise more broadly defined taxa. Circumscription and/or recognition of C. columellaris, C. glaucophylla and C. intratropica in particular varies between jurisdictions.

APC Comment:
The two most recent treatments of Australian Callitris (excluding Actinostrobus) are by K.D.Hill, Fl. Australia 48: 576-588 (1998) and A.Farjon, Monogr. Cupressaceae Sciadopitys 496-546 (2005).
