Hesperocyparis Glabra
''Hesperocyparis'' (western cypress) is a genus of trees in the family Cupressaceae, containing North American species otherwise assigned to the genus ''Cupressus''. They are found throughout western North America. Only a few species have wide ranges, with most being restricted-range endemics. Members of ''Hesperocyparis'' were and still are placed in ''Cupressus'' by many authorities, but phylogenetic evidence supports a different affinity. A 2021 molecular study found ''Hesperocyparis'' to be the sister group to the genus '' Callitropsis'' (containing only the Nootka cypress), with this clade being sister to the Asian genus '' Xanthocyparis'', containing only the Vietnamese golden cypress. The clade comprising all three genera was found to be sister to a clade containing '' Juniperus'' and ''Cupressus sensu stricto''. This genus contains the following species: *'' Hesperocyparis abramsiana'' (C. B. Wolf) Bartel *''Hesperocyparis arizonica'' (Greene) Bartel *''Hesperocyparis bak ...

Hesperocyparis Macrocarpa
''Hesperocyparis macrocarpa'' is a coniferous tree. It is commonly known as the Monterey cypress and is one of several species of cypress trees endemic to California. The Monterey cypress is found naturally only on the Central Coast of California. The natural distributional range of the species during modern times is confined to two small relict populations near Carmel, California, at Cypress Point in Pebble Beach and at Point Lobos. Historically during the peak of the last ice age, Monterey cypress would have likely comprised a much larger forest that extended much further north and south.Axelrod, D. I. (1982)AGE AND ORIGIN OF THE MONTEREY ENDEMIC AREA.''Madroño'', ''29''(3), 127–147. Description ''Hesperocyparis macrocarpa'' is a medium-sized coniferous evergreen tree, which often becomes irregular and flat-topped as a result of the strong winds that are typical of its native area. It grows to heights of up to 40 meters (133 feet) in perfect growing conditions, and ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Hesperocyparis Stephensonii
''Cupressus stephensonii'' is a species of conifer known as the Cuyamaca cypress, and is endemic to Southern California. It has been classified as ''Hesperocyparis stephensonii''. It was previously listed as ''Cupressus arizonica'' subsp. ''stephensonii'' and ''Cupressus arizonica'' var. ''glabra''. Distribution The Cuyamaca Cypress exists only in the headwaters area of King Creek in the Cuyamaca Mountains of the Peninsular Ranges system, south of Cuyamaca Peak within San Diego County in extreme Southern California. Trees were reported growing as low as in elevation in 1998, but the presence of these individuals today has not been verified. Most individual trees occur at within the Pacific Southwest Research Station's King Creek Research Natural Area, in the Cleveland National Forest.

Hesperocyparis Pigmaea
''Cupressus pigmaea'', the Mendocino cypress or pygmy cypress, is a taxon of disputed status in the genus ''Cupressus'' endemic to certain coastal terraces and coastal mountain ranges of Mendocino and Sonoma Counties in northwestern California. It is a highly variable tree, and closely related to ''Cupressus goveniana,'' enough to sometimes be considered a subspecies of it. Description The foliage is a dull dark to light green color, with scale-like leaves 1–1.5 mm long, with the leaf tips not spreading; seedlings bear needle-like leaves 8–10 mm long. The cones are small, 11–24 mm long, and almost spherical, with six or eight scales arranged in opposite decussate pairs, with the bract visible as no more than a small lump or short spine on the scale. The seeds are 3–5 mm long, with a pair of small wings along the sides. The cones remain closed on the trees for many years, until the trees are killed by a forest fire; after the tree is dead, the cones o ...

''Cupressus macnabiana'' (MacNab cypress or Shasta cypress) is a species of cypress in western North America. Distribution ''Cupressus macnabiana'' is endemic to northern California. ''Cupressus macnabiana'' is one of the most widely distributed of all the native California cypresses, found growing in chaparral, oak woodlands, and coniferous woodlands habitats along the inner northern California Coast Ranges and the foothills of the northern Sierra Nevada.

Hesperocyparis Lusitanica
''Cupressus lusitanica'', the Mexican cedar or cedar-of-Goa, is a species of cypress native to Mexico and Central America (Guatemala, El Salvador and Honduras). It has also been introduced to Belize, Costa Rica and Nicaragua, growing at altitude. The scientific name ''lusitanica'' (of Portugal) refers to its very early cultivation there, with plants imported from Mexico to the monastery at Buçaco, near Coimbra in Portugal in about 1634; these trees were already over 130 years old when the species was botanically described by Miller in 1768. In Mexico, the tree is also known as ''cedro blanco'' (white cedar) or ''teotlate''. __TOC__ Description ''Cupressus lusitanica'' is an evergreen conifer tree with a conic to ovoid-conic crown, growing to 40 m tall. The foliage grows in dense sprays, dark green to somewhat yellow-green in colour. The leaves are scale-like, 2–5 mm long, and produced on rounded (not flattened) shoots. The seed cones are globose to oblong, 10–20 ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
