- ↑ A new species described by Rehder in Sargent, Trees and Shrubs, 95, t. 48 (1903). It is only known as a tree growing in the arboretum of G. Allard at Angers. I have seen no specimens and take the characters given above from Rehder. In habit it resembles Picea Morinda, the branches being pendulous. The cones resemble those of Picea Alcockiana.
