 | Abies chengii Rushforth 1983Common NamesCheng fir (1).Taxonomic notesHas been placed in synonymy with A. delavayi but is here treated as a distinct species, albeit quite similar to A. forrestii. This species is unique in the Database because it has no known range. It was described from material collected in arboreta in England, Scotland and Ireland, derived from seed collected in Yunnan by George Forrest in 1931. Given this provenance, it is possibly a hybrid involving A. chensiensis ssp. salouenensis (1).DescriptionSee (1).RangeCultivated in sundry UK arboreta, probably native to China: Yunnan (1).Big TreeOldestDendrochronologyEthnobotanyObservationsRemarksCitations(1) Farjon 1990. |
