'''''Abies pinsapo''''' ('''Spanish Fir''') is a species of [[fir]] native to southern [[Spain]] (altitudes of 900-2000 m) and northern [[Morocco]] (1400-2100 m).  

 

It is an [[evergreen]] [[tree]] growing to 20-30 m tall, with a conic crown, sometimes becoming irregular with age. The [[leaf|leaves]] are 1.5-2 cm long, arranged radially all round the shoots, and are strongly glaucous pale blue-green, with broad bands of whitish wax on both sides. The [[conifer cone|cones]] are cylindrical, 9-18 cm long, greenish-pink to purple before maturity, and smooth with the bract scales short and not exserted. When mature, they disintegrate to release the winged [[seed]]s{{wp}}.
