The aril may create a fruit like structure called a false fruit . False fruit are found in numerous Angiosperm taxa. The edible flesh of the longan , lychee , ackee and Prumnopitys andina lleuque fruits are highly developed arils surrounding the seed rather than a pericarp layer. Such arils are also found in a few species of gymnosperm s, notably the Taxus yews and related Pinophyta conifers . Instead of having a wood y Conifer cone cone as is typical of most gymnosperms, the reproductive structure of the yew consists of a single seed that becomes surrounded by a fleshy, cup like covering.

The plant order Taxales was until recently treated as a distinct order in the division Pinophyta , class Pinopsida, and included only those species in the family Taxaceae , known commonly as yews. Under this interpretation, all other conifer s were classified separately in the order Pinales . Recent genetic and wikt micromorphological micromorphological studies have however shown that the Taxaceae are closely related to the other conifers, particularly so to the family Cephalotaxaceae . The order Taxales is therefore no longer recognised as distinct, and the family Taxaceae is now included in the order Pinales. See Pinophyta for more details.
