Hello and welcome. Unfortunately I am unable to ID either of these species, perhaps someone else will be able to help.

Possibly, But which one: Both Taxus chinensis http://www.bonsai4me.com/SpeciesGuide/Taxus.html
& Podocarpus macrophyllus http://www.bonsai4me.com/SpeciesGuide/Podocarpus.html
are commonly called Chinese Yew. [Check out the google search: http://www.google.com/search?ie=UTF-8&o ... hinese+yew
] Usually it refers to the podocarpus.

More research is required I'd say. Look here for bonsai inspiration.
Good luck,
