Lost Monarch, Coast redwood in Jedediah Smith Redwoods State Park, California.
Lost Monarch reaches a height of 320 feet with a diameter of 26 feet, ranking as the fifth largest coast redwood by wood volume at 34,914 cubic feet.
Naturalist Michael Taylor and researcher Stephen C. Sillett discovered this remarkable specimen of Sequoia sempervirens during their forest exploration on May 11, 1998.
The tree stands within the Grove of Titans, where several other giant redwoods received names that reflect their connections to mythology and natural features.
Park authorities maintain secrecy about Lost Monarch's exact location to prevent excessive human traffic and preserve the surrounding ecosystem's natural balance.
The trunk and branches support approximately 1,000 pounds of Polypodium scouleri fern colonies, creating a complete ecosystem within the tree structure.
