Sequoia (genus) (Cupressaceae (family), Pinales (order), ... Living Organisms (hierarchy name)) |
|
Note: Genus of conifers of the cypress family, comprising one living species, Sequoia sempervirens. The giant sequoia was formerly included in this genus. The sequoia is native in the fog belt of the Coast Ranges from southern Monterey county, California, to southern Oregon, U.S., and the big tree occurs in scattered groves on the westerly slopes of the Sierra Nevada from Placer to Tulare counties in California. Fossil remains of Sequoia as old as the Jurassic Period (about 200 to 145.5 million years ago) are widely dispersed in the Northern Hemisphere. The bald cypress and dawn redwood are closely related to Sequoia. The name for the genus commemorates the great Cherokee Indian Sequoyah (or Sequoya).

Additional Notes: |
|
| Dutch ..... Genus van coniferen uit de cipresfamilie, bestaande uit één levende soort, Sequoia sempervirens. De reuzensequoia werd voorheen ook tot dit genus gerekend. De sequoia komt voor in de mistgordel van de kustgebieden in het zuiden van de provincie Monterey in Californië tot aan het zuiden van Oregon, en op de verspreid liggende boomgroepen op de westelijke hellingen van de Sierra Nevada, van de county's Placer tot Tulare in Californië. Zeer oude fossiele resten van de sequoia uit de Juraperiode (circa 200 tot 145,5 miljoen jaar geleden) komen wijd verspreid voor op het noordelijk halfrond. De moerascipres en watercipres zijn nauw verwant met de sequoia. De naam van het genus verwijst naar de beroemde Cherokee-indiaan Sequoyah (of Sequoya). |
