Abies hidalgensis is a species of conifer in the pine family, Pinaceae. It is endemic to Mexico, where it is known only from the state of Hidalgo. [1]
This tree was described to science in 1995. It grows in cloud forest habitat with trees and shrubs such as Buddleja cordata , Cupressus lusitanica , and Pinus patula . [1]
This tree has usually a single trunk with branches that ascend and then descend. The crown is columnar to conical in shape with gray-green foliage. The bark is smooth and light gray on young trees, splitting into plates and revealing "blood-red" inner bark on older specimens. The cones are up to 8 by 4 centimeters in size. [2]
