Sequoiadendron giganteum (Lindl.) Buchholz, previously known as Sequoia gigantea, Wellingtonia gigantea, and Sequoia wellingtonia, is commonly known as Wellingtonia, sequoia, giant sequoia, giant redwood, Sierra redwood, mammoth-tree, or simply "big tree" (Weatherspoon, 1990; Martin, 1998).
Sequoiadendron giganteum is distinguishable from other species by its small, scale-like, appressed leaves, which are obovate-ovate-lanceolate in shape and blue-green in color.
Sequoiadendron giganteum can withstand temperatures ranging from -12 to 104 degrees Fahrenheit (24 to 40° Celsius), but it typically is found in areas with January minimums of 21 to 34° F and July maximums of 75 to 84 ° F (Weatherspoon, 1990).

In vitro meristem culture of juvenile and mature Sequoiadendron giganteum
A total of 7000 meristems were used in experiments to investigate the possibility of cloning Sequoiadendron giganteum Buchholz by in vitro meristem culture of juvenile (2-year-old) and mature (100-year-old) ortets.
There was a marked seasonal effect on meristematic activity, especially for the mature clone, the most active material being obtained during budbreak.

 Sequoiadendron giganteum description
Unfortunately, Sequoia gigantea was an invalid name, having been previously used by Endlicher to describe a horticultural variety of the coast redwood, and this problem was not satisfactorily resolved until the American John T. Buchholz described Sequoiadendron in 1939.
Buccholz' name was not a popular choice, and was widely criticized by the old guard of California botanists, but his arguments--based on substantial differences in the development of Sequoia and Sequoiadendron seed cones--have subsequently won general acceptance (2).

 Biogeography of the Giant Sequoia (Sequoiadendron giganteum)
The tree known as the giant sequoia goes by many names: big-tree, mammoth-tree, Sierra redwood, Sequoiadendron giganteum, Sequoia giganteum, Sequoia washingtonia, and Sequoia wellingtonia, among others.
A lot of debate seems to be going on (or has gone on) about the exact genus and species of the giant sequoia.
There are only about 75 groves of Sequoiadendron giganteum, often with as much as 50 miles between individual groves in the northern portion (Crittenden 1977).

 Sequoiadendron giganteum, Oregon State Univ., LANDSCAPE PLANTS
American botanists were outraged that an English botanist who had never seen the world’s largest tree named it for an English war hero.
Apparently this designation was not a popular choice either for it was widely criticized by many senior California botanists, but his arguments and his designation (Sequoiadendron giganteum) have subsequently won general acceptance.
The authorities for this name are Lindley and Buchholz, and the formal botanical name, including the authority, of the Sierra Redwood is written as Sequoiadendron giganteum (Lindl.) Buchholz.

 SinLur Garden: Sequoiadendron giganteum
Not long after, in 1847, Austrian botanist Stephan Endlicher assigned the Sierra redwood & the Coastal Redwood their own genus, naming them after the Cherokee chief.
Then in 1854, Illinois botanist separated to the two redwood giants each into its own genus, Sequoia sempervirens for the coastal redwood, & Sequoiadendron giganteum for the Sierra redwood.
Taxonomists still sometimes argue whether they should have remained inthe same genus.

While Sequiadendron is now the most commonly used generic name, the British botanists generally cry foul!
They point out that it was Lindley who first considered that the tree belonged in a different genus back in 1852 and that his Wellingtonia name has priority over Buchholz's Sequoiadendron.
Just for the record, I think I side with the British here, but it is Buchholz's name you will encounter in most literature on these trees.
