Question: Are the Genii Sequoia and Alpinia native to America ?

full_context: Document 1: Astelia alpina: Astelia alpina called pineapple grass, silver astelia, or perching lily is a commonly found species in alpine and subalpine areas of Tasmania and the Australian Alps. It is a perennial herb that typically dominates its environment by growing in dense clusters, called mats, in alpine bogs. There are two subspecies: "Astelia alpina" var. "novae hollandiae" from New South Wales and Victoria and "Astelia alpina" var. "alpina" endemic to Tasmania. Both subspecies appear very similar to each other. The species was originally described by Robert Brown.
Document 2: Kaempferia rotunda: Kaempferia rotunda is a plant species in the ginger family. It is native to China (Guangdong, Guangxi, Hainan, Taiwan, Yunnan), India, Nepal, Assam, Bangladesh, Indochina, and widely cultivated elsewhere. It is reportedly naturalized in Java, Malaysia and Costa Rica.
Document 3: Thuja plicata: Thuja plicata, commonly called western or Pacific redcedar, giant or western arborvitae, giant cedar, or shinglewood, is a species of "Thuja", an evergreen coniferous tree in the cypress family Cupressaceae native to western North America. It is not a true cedar of the genus "Cedrus".
Document 4: Sequoia (genus): Sequoia is a genus of redwood coniferous trees in the subfamily Sequoioideae of the family Cupressaceae. The only extant species of the genus is "Sequoia sempervirens" in the Northern California coastal forests ecoregion of Northern California and Southwestern Oregon in the United States. The two other genera, "Sequoiadendron" and "Metasequoia", in the subfamily Sequoioideae are closely related to "Sequoia". It includes the largest trees in the world.
Document 5: Alpinia galanga: Alpinia galanga, (also "Languas galanga"), a plant in the ginger family, is an herb used in cooking, especially in Indonesian and Thai cuisines. It is one of four plants known as galangal and is differentiated from the others with the common name greater galangal (or simply Thai galangal). The galangals are also called blue ginger or Thai ginger.
Document 6: Metasequoia: Metasequoia (dawn redwood) is a fast-growing, deciduous tree, and the sole living species, "Metasequoia glyptostroboides", is one of three species of conifers known as redwoods. It is native to Lichuan county in Hubei province, China. Although the least tall of the redwoods, it grows to at least 200 feet (60 meters) in height. Local villagers refer to the original tree from which most others derive as "Shui-sa", or "water fir", which is part of a local shrine. Since its rediscovery in 1944, the dawn redwood has become a popular ornamental.
Document 7: California Floristic Province: The California Floristic Province (CFP) is a floristic province with a Mediterranean-type climate located on the Pacific Coast of North America with a distinctive flora similar to other regions with a winter rainfall and summer drought climate like the Mediterranean Basin. This biodiversity hotspot is known for being the home of the Sierran giant sequoia tree and its close relative the coast redwood. In 1996, the Province was designated as a biodiversity hotspot allowing it to join ranks among 33 other areas in the world with a large number of endemic species. To be named a biodiversity hotspot, an area has to contain species and plant life that cannot be found anywhere else in the world. The California Floristic Province is home to over 3,000 species of vascular plants, 60% of which are endemic to the province.
Document 8: Del Norte Titan: Del Norte Titan is the name of a coast redwood ("Sequoia sempervirens") tree in Del Norte County, Northern California, that was confirmed by measuring to be at least 23.7 ft in diameter at breast height (DBH, measured 4.5 ft above soil grade), and 307 ft tall. Measured by Stephen Sillett, it ranks as the world's fifth largest coast redwood. One source recognizes it as the largest based on a single-stem measurement. But the source's recognition pre-dates a 2014 discovery in the redwood parks that is larger. Lost Monarch in the same park, is actually larger with more wood volume than Del Norte Titan, if basal stems are included. The fourth largest coastal redwood is in Prairie Creek Redwoods State Park called Iluvatar.
Document 9: Kaempferia: Kaempferia is a genus of plants in the ginger family. It is native to China, India, and Southeast Asia (Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, Philippines, etc.).
Document 10: Sequoiadendron giganteum: Sequoiadendron giganteum (giant sequoia; also known as giant redwood, Sierra redwood, Sierran redwood, Wellingtonia or simply Big Treea nickname used by John Muir) is the sole living species in the genus "Sequoiadendron", and one of three species of coniferous trees known as redwoods, classified in the family Cupressaceae in the subfamily Sequoioideae, together with "Sequoia sempervirens" (coast redwood) and "Metasequoia glyptostroboides" (dawn redwood). The common use of the name "sequoia" generally refers to "Sequoiadendron giganteum", which occurs naturally only in groves on the western slopes of the Sierra Nevada Mountains of California.
Document 11: Grove of Titans: The Grove of Titans is a redwood grove in Del Norte County, Northern California, with several massive coast redwood ("Sequoia sempervirens") trees, some of the largest known redwoods in terms of wood volume. The largest coastal redwood tree in the grove by volume is the single-stem Del Norte Titan. The Lost Monarch is comparably large, but a large sprout from the ground at its base is not part of the main trunk structure. Del Norte Titan and Lost Monarch became approximately the fourth- and fifth-largest known coast redwoods following new 2014 coast redwood discoveries like Grogan's Fault.
Document 12: Alpinia purpurata: Alpinia purpurata, red ginger, also called ostrich plume and pink cone ginger, are native Malaysian plants with showy flowers on long brightly colored red bracts. They look like the bloom, but the true flower is the small white flower on top.
Document 13: Alpinia: Alpinia is a genus of flowering plants in the ginger family, Zingiberaceae. It is named for Prospero Alpini, a 17th-century Italian botanist who specialized in exotic plants. Species are native to Asia, Australia, and the Pacific Islands, where they occur in tropical and subtropical climates. Several species are cultivated as ornamental plants. Species of the genus are known generally as shell ginger.
Document 14: Renealmia alpinia: Renealmia alpinia is a flowering plant species native to the Americas, where it grows from southern Mexico through much of South America, though not in the Southern Cone. It can also be found on several Caribbean islands.
Document 15: Giardino Botanico Alpinia: The Giardino Botanico Alpinia (4 hectares) is a botanical garden specializing in alpine plants, located at 800 m altitude above Stresa on Lake Maggiore, Province of Verbano-Cusio-Ossola, Piedmont, Italy. It can be reached via the Lido di Carciano - Alpino - Mottarone cable car, and is open daily in the warmer months.
