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).

Wood from any of species of the Sequoia genus or related genera.

Species of coniferous evergreen timber tree of the cypress family, found in the fog belt of the coastal range from southwestern Oregon to central California, at elevations up to 1,000 metres (3,300 feet) above sea level. They are the tallest living trees, often exceeding 90 m (300 feet) in height. Trunks reach typical diameters of 3 to 6 m (10 to 20 feet) or more. The coast redwood tree takes 400 to 500 years to reach maturity, and some trees are known to be more than 1,500 years old. The leaves on the main shoots are spirally arranged, scalelike, and closely appressed to the branches; those of the lateral shoots are spreading, needlelike, and arranged in two rows. As the tree ages, the lower limbs fall away, leaving a clear, columnar trunk. When a tree is cut, sprouts arise from the sapwood below the cut surface. Natural reproduction occurs through seed production, although only a small percentage of the seeds germinate unless exposed to fire.

Genus containing one species of giant sequoia.

Style of textiles, particularly floor coverings handwoven in the Sarāband area, southwest of Arak in west-central Iran. The rugs are characterized as dating from the 19th and early 20th centuries, being of sturdy construction, and having a distinctive pattern known commercially as the "mir" design, which comprises small, complex leaf (boteh) or leaf forms in diagonal rows with tips pointed alternately in opposite directions. A geometric vine with similar leaf forms usually occupies the principal border stripe. There may be geometric cornerpieces or a small, similarly geometric central medallion. The ground is red, dark blue, or ivory; the knotting is symmetrical on a cotton foundation. Large Seraband rugs are narrower than room dimension.
