The genus was formerly treated as comprising a single species Platycarya strobilacea, though the second living species Platycarya longzhouensis is now recognized.
A number of fossil species have been discovered across the Northern Hemisphere dating from the Early Eocene, although they became confined to eastern Asia during the Pleistocene ice ages.
