About

Microbiota is a monotypic genus of coniferous shrubs in the cypress family, Cupressaceae, containing only one species, Microbiota decussata, the Siberian cypress, or Russian arborvitae. It is endemic to a limited area of the Sikhote-Alin mountains in Primorskiy Krai in the Russian Far East. The genus name Microbiota is not to be confused with the term "microbiota" for the range of micro-organisms of a life system. The genus name is derived from micro-, meaning "small", + Biota, a synonym of the genus Platycladus, a closely related conifer genus with the sole species Platycladus orientalis.
