Abies vejarii
Also called Vejar Fir
Abies vejarii is a species of fir native to northeastern Mexico, in the states of Coahuila, Nuevo León, and Tamaulipas, where it grows at high elevations (2,000–3,300 m) in the Sierra Madre Oriental.
Abies vejarii grows on steep mountain slopes near the summits and in cool ravines of the Sierra Madre Oriental, from 1,900 to 3,300 meters elevation. The climate is cool with wet winters and drier summers. It grows on soils typically moist but low in humus content. It is most often associated with pines and Mexican Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii var. lindleyana), along with oaks, Cupressus arizonica, and Picea engelmannii subsp. mexicana.
