Within this species of Chamaecyparis, there are several different forms that have developed. In terms of foliage characteristics, there appear to be about 4 categories for identifying these forms including.

1. Normal - The form of the foliage is the same as the straight species but may vary by color or habit.
    

2. Filifera - These are the so-called Threadleaf Falsecypress forms. the main branchlets are often stringy and cordlike and do not have the typical flattened spray pattern of the Normal types.
    

3. Plumosa - Called Plume Falsecypress, these forms resemble the species type but are more "airy" or fern-like in texture. The awl-shaped leaves are arranged at a 45° angle to the stem. There is often a silver marking on the bottom of the sprays.
    

4. Squerrosa - These are named the Moss Falsecypress because the foliage has a soft-fluffy texture. The foliage is dense, silvery to glaucous blue in color and displayed on billowy branches.
