Cupressus funebris from which Weeping Cypress Essential Oil is distilled is also known as Chinese Weeping Cypress and is a species of cypress native to southwestern and central China and Vietnam

It is a medium-sized coniferous tree growing to 20–35 metres in height  with a trunk up to 2 metres in  diameter. The foliage grows in dense, usually moderately decumbent and pendulous sprays of bright green, very slender, slightly flattened shoots.

The leaves are scale-like, 1–2 mm long, up to 5 mm long on strong lead shoots; young trees up to about 5–10 years old have juvenile foliage with soft needle-like leaves 3–8 mm long.

The seed cones are globose, 8–15 mm long, with 6-10 scales (usually 8), green, maturing dark brown about 24 months after pollination. The cones open at maturity to shed the seed. The pollen cones are 3–5 mm long, and release pollen in early spring.
