Abies spectabilis (East Himalayan fir) is a conifer species in the family Pinaceae and the genus firs. It is sometimes held to include the Bhutan fir (A. densa) as a variety. It is found in Afghanistan, China (Tibet), northern India, Nepal, and Pakistan.[1] It is a large tree, up to 50 m (160 ft) tall.[2]
Abies spectabilis has a wide distribution, but it has suffered from logging and deforestation, especially at the lower elevations. In 2011, IUCN assessed it as "Near Threatened".[1]
