Does anyone know where I can get the book by Dr. Chadwick about taxus
species?
I believe that it's name was 'The Genera Taxus' and it came out in the
1970s.
Thanks in advance,

Amazon.com says Chadwick, L. C. and R. A. Keen. 1976. A study of the
genus Taxus. Ohio Agric. Exp. Sta. Bull. 1086. is out of print.

Given that it was a 56 page bulletin, you might contact the publisher,
the Ohio Agricultural Research and Development Center, and see if they
could photocopy it for you

You might want to contact Kenneth D. Cochran, Secrest Arboretum, The
Ohio State University, who mentioned Chadwick and Keen's study:

If those leads don't pan out, you might try interlibrary loan. It seems
to be the kind of item that only larger university libraries would
generally carry. You might check your state's land grant university
library and see if they have it. If you are near D.C. the National
Agricultural Library in Beltsville, MD would likely have it.
