Western Redcedar

Despite the name, the western redcedar is an evergreen coniferous tree in the Cupressaceae family, native to western North America. Most authorities, both in Canada and the United States transliterate the English name in two words as ‘western redcedar’, or occasionally hyphenated as ‘western red-cedar’, to indicate that it is not a true cedar.
