Picea engelmannii Parry ex Engelm. var. engelmannii. Lower limbs of an Engelmann Spruce that had caught a fallen cone. Not a posed picture; as it was found. Please consider the tree debris behind and to the side as tinsel! Otherwise I suppose I should have removed it but at the time was just trying to capture exactly how it was.Cones are shorter than Blue Spruce, Picea pungens, and not as papery. This cone bothered me somewhat in terms of being representative of Engelmann's Spruce in terms of its size and bract characteristics. Based on the likely length of the leaves/needles (probably mostly around 2 cm), this cone is easily in the 8 to 10 cm (roughly 4", possibly a little longer) range which is unusually large (cones for this species are usually less than 6 cm, so well less than 3" long. Also the bracts on Engelmann's Spruce cones are often more entire and rounded rather than as above. However, they can also be erose as above, and the shape of the cone above is much more in the expected range compared to the more oblong to cylindric shape of a Blue Spruce cone. The two spruces commonly grow together (although I did not see any P. pungens at this particular spot) and in the same elevational ranges but supposedly do not hybridize.Young twigs have minute hairs whereas those of Blue Spruce are glabrous.Needles not a sharp as Blue Spruce and they tend to be more on the upper side of the twig whereas with Blue Spruce they are spread equally more or less around the twig. September 5, 2011, Wasatch Plateau, Huntington Canyon, Emery County, Utah, approx. 7,185 ft. elev. Most commonly found at 8,000 ft and above however often occurs between 6,500 and 8,000 ft. in Utah.

B de las Almunias: Zaragoza.Familia: CUPRESSACEAEDistribucin: Zonas secas de la regin mediterrnea, desde el E de Portugal y Marruecos hasta el N de Irn; se extiende por casi toda la Pennsula Ibrica, ms rara en el W; en Aragn se da en los Somontanos y Prepirineo, hasta Ordesa, escasea en la Depresin y se extiende por el Sistema Ibrico, pero en reas del W y C slo se cita como especie, aunque se supone su presencia, ya que es ms frecuente que la subsp. badia. Hbitat: Forma matorrales xerofticos o bien puede verse salpicando carrascales, pinares de pino carrasco, negral y silvestre, quejigares, etc, en ambientes secos, bien iluminados y resguardados.Preferencia edfica: Indiferente.Tolera bien los suelos rocosos.Rango altitudinal: ( 140 ) 240- 1350 ( 1500 ) mFloracin: Marzo - AbrilFructificacin: Septiembre - NoviembreForma Biolgica: FanerfitoExtractado del Atlas de la Flora de Aragn (Herbario de Jaca)

El Moncayo.Tarazona: Aragn (Espaa)Familia: CUPRESSACEAEDistribucin: En Europa extiende su rea por la regin eurosiberiana y montaas de la regin mediterrnea, alcanzando las del N, C y W de la Pennsula Ibrica y Sierra Nevada; en Aragn se dispersa por el Alto Pirineo (Ver Citas Reseables) y reaparece en el Moncayo. Desde ejemplares dispersos hasta grupos de numerosos individuos y de gran densidadHbitat: Se localiza en ambientes rocosos: crestones, grietas y rellanos, al pie de cantiles soleados o en gleras y pastos pedregosos; se sita prximo a las cumbres y con frecuencia acompaa con frecuencia al pino negro.Preferencia edfica: Acidfila. Aunque parece preferir los sustratos silceos, no es raro detectarla en terrenos calizos.Rango altitudinal: 1200- 2900 ( 3080 ) mForma Biolgica:Nanofanerfito perennifolioExtractado del Atlas de la Flora de Aragn (Herbario de Jaca)

Conifers are great, and this is one of the most perfect coniferous designs ever - it's been in mass production unchanged since... well, I bet we still had gills and scales back then.
