| Picea abies subsp. abies | |
| Publ. & Syn. | H. Karst., Deut. Fl. 2-3: 324 (1881). - Pinus abies L., Sp. Pl.: 1002 (1753). Lectotype: central Europe. J. Camerarius, De Plantis Epitome Util. P.A. Matthioli: 47, ill. 1686. (Farjon and Jarvis in Farjon 1993: 122). - Pinus excelsa Lam., Fl. Franç. 2: 202 (1778 [1779]). - Picea excelsa (Lam.) Link., Linnaea 15: 517 (1842). |
| Notes | Tollefsrud and Elven: The results of Tollefsrud et al. (2008, 2009) show that the western limit of subsp. obovata runs in the Urals, and that the northern Fennoscandian and European Russian plants are of the same postglacial Russian stock as other northern European Picea abies, albeit with some introgression from Siberian subsp. obovata through pollen (Tollefsrud et al. 2008). The problem remains that the northeastern Fennoscandian plants, and probably the northern Russian ones, too, differ rather markedly in some morphological features from the more southern ones (see, e.g., Christensen 2000). |
