Abietaceae
Abietoideae is a subfamily of the conifer family Pinaceae. The name is from the genus ''Abies'' (firs), which contains most of the species in the genus. Six genera are currently assigned to this subfamily: ''Abies'', ''Cedrus'', ''Keteleeria'', ''Nothotsuga'', ''Pseudolarix'', and ''Tsuga''. ''Abies alba'' from Koehler (1887) The group was formerly treated as a separate family, the Abietaceae, by some plant taxonomy systems, such as the Wettstein system.

Pinaceae
The Pinaceae, or pine family, are conifer trees or shrubs, including many of the well-known conifers of commercial importance such as cedars, firs, hemlocks, larches, pines and spruces. The family is included in the order Pinales, formerly known as Coniferales. Pinaceae are supported as monophyletic by their protein-type sieve cell plastids, pattern of proembryogeny, and lack of bioflavonoids. They are the largest extant conifer family in species diversity, with between 220 and 250 species (depending on taxonomic opinion) in 11 genera, and the second-largest (after Cupressaceae) in geographical range, found in most of the Northern Hemisphere, with the majority of the species in temperate climates, but ranging from subarctic to tropical. The family often forms the dominant component of boreal, coastal, and montane forests. One species, ''Pinus merkusii'', grows just south of the equator in Southeast Asia. Major centres of diversity are found in the mountains of southwest China, M ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Abies Beshanzuensis
''Abies beshanzuensis'' (Baishanzu fir, Baishan fir) is a species of fir (genus ''Abies'') in the family Pinaceae. It is endemic to Mt. Baishanzu in southern Zhejiang province in eastern China, where it grows at altitude and is threatened by collection and climate change. The site is within the Fengyangshan – Baishanzu National Nature Reserve. ''Abies beshanzuensis'' is classified as critically endangered by the IUCN Red List. It was discovered in 1963 on the summit of Baishanzu Shan (1,857 m), where only seven trees were found. Three of these were dug up and moved to Beijing Botanical Garden, where they died. By 1987, only three trees were left in the wild, making it the rarest conifer in the world. New planting of grafted plants on Baishanzu Shan and other nearby sites has shown some success, but the species remains critically endangered. It is a tree growing to tall, with a broad conic crown and a trunk up to in diameter. The shoots are stout, pale yellow-brown, hair ...

Abies Fabri
''Abies fabri'' (Faber's fir) is a conifer species in the family Pinaceae. It is endemic to Sichuan in western China, occurring on the sacred mountain of Emei Shan (from where it was first described) and westward to the Gongga Shan massif, growing at altitudes of .Flora of China: It is a tree growing to tall, with a trunk up to a metre in diameter, and a conical to broad columnar crown. The shoots are yellowish-brown, hairless or slightly hairy. The leaves are linear, long and wide, glossy dark green above, and with two white stomatal bands below; the leaf margins are slightly revolute. The cones are cylindrical, dark purple when immature, ripening purple-blue, long and wide, with slightly exserted bracts. The most serious threat to ''Abies fabri'' seems to be acid rain from nearby industries in Chengdu. There are two subspecies: *''Abies fabri'' subsp. ''fabri''.

Abies Cilicica
''Abies cilicica'', also known as Cilician fir or Taurus fir, is a species of conifer in the family Pinaceae. It is found in Lebanon, Syria, and Turkey. ''Abies cilicica'' and ''Cedrus libani'', together with ''Acer hyrcanum'' subsp. ''tauricolum'' and ''Sorbus torminalis'' subsp. ''orientalis'', are the predominant trees in the phytocoenosis Abeti-Cedrion, a type of forest of the middle and eastern Taurus Mountains of Turkey. These forests occur between 800 and 2,100 meters elevation. Over 5,000 years of logging, burning, and grazing have reduced these forests to enclaves. In 2009 at Berenice Troglodytica, the Egypto-Roman port on the Red Sea, archaeologists found: "two blocks of resin from the Syrian fir tree (''Abies cilicica''), one weighing about 190 g and the other about 339 g, recovered from 1st-century AD contexts in one of the harbour trenches. Produced in areas of greater Syria and Asia Minor, this resin and its oil derivative were used in mummification, as an antisep ...
