Picea engelmannii, Engelm. (P. columbiana, Lemmon). Abies commutata, Murr.). Engelmann Spruce. Tree, to 150 ft., with slender spreading branches in closely arranged whorls, forming a dense and narrow pyramid in young trees: winter buds with brownish yellow usually appressed or 
little spreading scales: young branches pale brownish yellow, pubescent: lvs. slender, straight or slightly incurved, acute, bluish green to steel-blue, 1/2 - 1 in. long, without resin canals, of a strong aromatic odor when bruised: fls. purple: cones oval- to cylindric-oblong, 
light brown, 1 1/2 - 3 in. long; scales rhomboidal, narrowed and truncate or rarely acute at the apex. From Alberta and Brit. Col. to Ariz, and New Mex. S.S. 12:599. Gn.M. 2:26. F.E. 27:39. M.D.G. 1905:121, 122.  A very ornamental tree, varying in the color of foliage. Var. 
glauca, Beissn., has bluish or steel-blue, and var. argentea, Beissn., silvery gray foliage. M.D.G 1906:557. P. pseudopungens, Dieck, seems not to differ from typical P. Engelmannii. The latter is said to be sold for P. pungens. It is more common, and its seeds are therefore more readily secured.
