Closest relative is the dawn redwood (Metasequoia) which is also deciduous. State tree of Louisiana. Other common names dawn redwood. Synonyms Metasequoia honshuenensis. Family Cupressaceae. Genus Metasequoia is a large deciduous tree with reddish-brown fibrous bark and soft, pale green linear leaves arranged in two ranks on the shoots, colouring beautifully in autumn.
