Abies Forrestii Subsp. Ferreana

Forrest's fir, scientifically known as Abies forrestii subsp. ferreana, is a rare and striking evergreen conifer native to the mountainous regions of southern China. This subspecies is characterized by its narrow, dark green needles and conical shape, which make it a distinctive feature of its habitat. It thrives in cool, moist climates and is often found in high-altitude forests where it contributes to the local biodiversity. Due to its limited distribution and habitat specificity, it is considered a vulnerable species facing threats from deforestation and climate change. Conservation efforts are crucial to preserving this unique plant for future generations.
