California's state tree, the coast redwood (Sequoiadendron giganteum), was named for its impressive height and longevity. The name "California" itself derives from a fictional island described in the 16th-century Spanish novel "Las Sergas de Esplandián," written by Garci Rodríguez de Montalvo, where it was depicted as a paradise filled with gold and precious stones. The state adopted the name as it was settled and explored, and the magnificent coast redwood became emblematic of the region's natural beauty.
