Hinggan Fir

Abies nephrolepis (Trautv. ex Maxim.) Maxim.

Comments

provided by eFloras
Abies "sibirico-nephrolepis" Takenouchi & J. J. Chien (Acta Phytotax. Sin. 6: 153. 1957) was described from Heilongjiang as a natural hybrid between A. nephrolepis and A. sibirica. However, the name is a hybrid formula and not a true epithet (ICBN, Art. H.10.3).

The timber is used for construction, furniture, or wood pulp.
