For each taxus, are indicated :
- The lower and the higher observed lengths and in parentheses those indicated in the diagnoses.
- The abundance in the investigated area, expressed by the number of samples where the taxus was observed.
- The presence around the Ile de Groix (G+)  and around the Ile aux moutons (M+).
- The characteristics of the presented valves/frustules (from left to right).
