Sequoia affinis is an extinct conifer in the cypress family, known only from fossils such as those at the Florissant fossil beds in Colorado. It cannot be grown, so care fields describe the living relatives and are not applicable to this species.
Sequoia affinis is an extinct species of conifer in the cypress family Cupressaceae.
The name Sequoia sometimes refers to the subfamily Sequoioideae, which includes the still-living Sequoia sempervirens along with Sequoiadendron (giant sequoia) and Metasequoia (dawn redwood). On its own, the term redwood usually refers to the coast redwood (Sequoia sempervirens), and not to species in the other genera.
