The major indigenous vegetation of Equinox, these trees were classified by an early botanical survey team in the Order Coniferales. A classification confirmed by the shape of their seed clusters which resemble seed cones from the Terran Sequoia semperverans. Another reason for their attribution to the genus sequoia is their enormous size and extreme age – core samples of the mature trees confirms that the youngest of these is over 500,000 standard years old.
