"and is somewhat closely related to junipers (Juniperus) and true cedars (Cupressus)"

Methinks you mean cypresses ;-) . . . cedars are Cedrus!

Genetically, the closest relative of Microbiota is Platycladus, it has even been suggested by one or two botanists that Microbiota could be included in Platycladus, though no-one has yet made the relevant new combination.
