 '''Veitch's Fir''' (''Abies veitchii''), also known as '''Veitch's Silver Fir''', is a [[fir]] native to [[Japan]]. It lives in moist soils in cool wet mountain forests at elevations of 1500–2800 m. It is very shade-tolerant when young, but is not long-lived.
-It is a [[Pinophyta|coniferous]] [[evergreen]] [[tree]] growing at a fast rate to 25–30 m tall.  The crown is narrowly conical with horizontal branches and pubescent shoots. The shoots are pubescent, with short brown hairs. The [[leaf|leaves]] are needle-like and flattened, 1–3&nbsp;cm long and 2&nbsp;mm broad. They are glossy dark green above with two conspicuous bluish white [[stoma]]tal bands underneath, and the tips are notched. The foliage is dense and points forward along the shoot, with the inner leaves being shorter and more erect than the lower leaves. The [[conifer cone|cone]] is purple-brown, cylindrical, 4–7&nbsp;cm long and tapers slightly. The cones are upright and have slightly exserted and reflexed yellow-green [[bract]]s. The bark is smooth and light grey, and has [[resin]] blisters characteristic of many firs.
