But in 1943 a small stand of an unidentified tree changed into found in Modaoxi , presently known as Moudao Town, in Lichuan County, by way of Zhan Wang. After the stop of the World War II, this tree species changed into officially defined because the best living species of Metasequoia, and given the clinical name Metasequoia glyptostroboides.
