The genus is Cedrus and it contains the Deodar Cedar and Lebanon Cedars (which include Turkish Cedars, Cyprus Cedars, and Atlas Cedars). The deodar is a fantastic tree:
Here's a fantastic Atlas Cedar. Also, click here and here.

3.) The journey is as follows:
Kingdom: Plantae
Division: Pinophyta
Class: Pinopsida
Order: Pinales
Once we've climbed down to the Pinales, we've got:
Pinaceae, pine family
Araucariaceae, araucaria family
Podocarpaceae, yellow-wood family
Sciadopityaceae, umbrella-pine family
Cupressaceae, cypress family
Cephalotaxaceae, plum-yew family
Taxaceae, yew family
from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pinales
On March 25 I went into the family Cupressaceae a little (because many of the trees I had believed were cedars were actually cypresses). The next step is to enter the Pinaceae, the pine family, which consists of cedars, firs, hemlocks, larches, pines and spruces.
