The dawn redwood or just plain "metasequoia" (Metasequoia glyptostroboides) is one of the three species of sequoia (together with the giant sequoia, Sequoiadendron giganteum and the coast redwood, Sequoia sempervirens).
The foliage of this Asiatic conifer is very similar to that of the North American bald cypress (Taxodium distichum).
