Help with plant identification
[edit]
[Copied from "Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Plants#Help with plant identification".]
Whaddya know – more help needed! Can you please identify the plant shown in these photographs? It was originally identified as a "silver fir", but a request has been made for them to be renamed as "Abies procera Glauca - blue spruce - Blautanne". However, I note that Abies procera is the noble fir, and the blue spruce is Picea pungens. — Cheers, JackLee –talk– 14:58, 6 July 2011 (UTC)
- I confirm that Abies procera 'Glauca' is the "blue fir" (English) or "Blautanne" (German), and that Picea pungens 'Glauca' is the "blue spruce" (English) or "Blaufichte" (German). The pictures are of a Abies procera 'Glauca'. Botanically yours, --Réginald alias Meneerke bloem (To reply) 15:43, 6 July 2011 (UTC)
- Great, thanks! Perhaps "Abies procera" should be updated to mention the term blue fir? — Cheers, JackLee –talk– 15:53, 6 July 2011 (UTC)
- Abies procera is the "noble fir" or "Edeltanne", its selection 'Glauca' is the "blue (noble) fir" or "Blautanne". --Réginald alias Meneerke bloem (To reply) 16:03, 6 July 2011 (UTC)
