It's more complicated than that. Giant sequoia is clearly not the correct answer. It is the world's heaviest tree, but not the tallest. Maybe just sequoia should work, but I feel like most people who type that in would be trying to guess the giant sequoia. Redwood is the best answer by far.
The obvious correct response is Coast Redwood, aka Sequoia sempervirens. I do think the full binomial name should be accepted - but only as the full name. The Giant Sequoia (informally, just "sequoia") isn't correct. Incidentally, the genus name for Giant Sequoia is NOT sequoia, it's sequoiadendron.
I ve learned the name on this site and every time i ve seen it, it was with double vowels. Consistency woukd be nice (though i know sometimes hard to achieve)
Just out of curiosity (not arguing that it should be accepted), where is saccharose a more common term than sucrose? Europe? South America? I had actually never heard of that as alternative name before reading your comment.
+Samiamco In Europe definitely, or at least in Germany. I've never heard of sucrose before, but Wikipedia says that they're one and the same. So Saccharose should be accepted.
I think only the english speaking countries and those that have some historical bond (like former colonies) call it sucrose. The rest calls it saccharose.
Wasn't Robocop set in 'New Detroit'? ( because if its anything sci-fi has taught us, all cities will have New put in front of their names in the future). Anyway, remember kids, "Stay out of trouble!"
I still think it's weird that jetpunk randomly choses not to count all medals that Germany earned in Winter Olympics, which would put the country a good 40 medals ahead of Norway.
recently read about the round-the-world solo sailing race, in which UFOs can be perilous - unidentified *floating* objects. I didn't really expect it to be accepted, but I liked it, so I gave it a try. Too bad.
lucky me :)
i learnt that in year 41
