Taxodium mucronatum
''Taxodium mucronatum'', also known as Montezuma Cypress, Sabino, or Ahuehuete is a species of ''Taxodium'' native to much of Mexico (south to the highlands of southern Mexico), and also the Rio Grande Valley in southernmost Texas, USA〔 as well as Huehuetenango Department in Guatemala. Ahuehuete is derived from the Nahuatl name for the tree, ''āhuēhuētl'', which means "upright drum in water" or "old man of the water."〔
==Description==
It is a large evergreen or semi-evergreen tree growing to tall and with a trunk of diameter (occasionally much more; see below). The leaves are spirally arranged but twisted at the base to lie in two horizontal ranks, long and broad. The cones are ovoid, long and broad.
Unlike Bald Cypress and Pond Cypress, Montezuma Cypress rarely produces cypress knees from the roots.〔 Trees from the Mexican highlands achieve a notable stoutness.
One specimen, the Árbol del Tule in Santa María del Tule, Oaxaca, Mexico, is the stoutest tree in the world with a diameter of . Several other specimens from diameter are known. The second stoutest tree in the world is the Big Baobab, an African Baobab.
