Metasequoia glyptostroboides
Dawn redwood

The deciduous leaves are linear, opposite, flat and light green above and underneath. They are soft to the touch and 1/2 - 1" long with a slightly raised midrib. The lower leaf surface has faint stomatal bands. The leaves are attached to flattened branchlets which fall as a unit in autumn.
