Remarks

From Hollick (1930) (p. 57)

"Numerous remains that are apparently referable to this species are abundant in several of the collections from the Yukon River region. The specific identity of some of these can hardly be questioned, but others are difficult to differentiate from certain closely allied species such as S. fastigiata and S. reichenbachi, both of which are represented in the same and other collections from the region.

Sequoia concinna was originally described by Heer from the Patoot beds of Greenland and has been identified by Berry (1917) (p. 172, pl. 7, figs. 1, 2) from the Upper Cretaceous (Bingen sand) of Arkansas and the Magothy formation of New Jersey (Berry 1917) (p. 172, figs. 3 - 5). A cone from the Magothy (?) formation of Marthas Vineyard, Mass., was also provisionally referred to the species by Hollick (1906) (p. 43, pl. 2, fig. 41)."
