Abies nordmanniana

Caucasian Fir (Pinaceae) - Alice Holt, Farnham, Surrey.

The Genus Abies Abies (commonly known as Silver-firs) has single, flattish leaves (needle) attached to twigs by sucker-like projections. The underside are more or less silver in colour.

The leaves (needles) of A. nordmanniana are more or less obscure the twig and are not so strongly curved at the base, as in A. procera.
