Abies beshanzuensis
''Abies beshanzuensis'' (Baishanzu fir, Baishan fir) is a species of fir (genus ''Abies'') in the family Pinaceae. It is endemic to Baishanzu Shan in southern Zhejiang province in eastern China, where it grows at altitude and is threatened by collection and climate change. The site is within the Fengyangshan – Baishanzu National Nature Reserve. ''Abies beshanzuensis'' is classified as critically endangered by the IUCN Red List.〔
It was discovered in 1963 on the summit of Baishanzu Shan (1,857 m), where only seven trees were found. Three of these were dug up and moved to Beijing Botanical Garden, where they died. By 1987, only three trees were left in the wild, making it the rarest conifer in the world. New planting of grafted plants on Baishanzu Shan and other nearby sites has shown some success, but the species remains critically endangered.〔
It is a tree growing to tall, with a broad conic crown and a trunk up to diameter. The shoots are stout, pale yellow-brown, hairless or slightly hairy. The leaves are linear, long and wide, glossy green above, and with two white stomatal bands below. The cones are narrow cylindric-conic, bright green when immature, ripening pale yellow-brown, long and wide, with exserted and reflexed bracts.〔〔
It is closely related to ''Abies firma'' from southern Japan, placed with it as the only two members of ''Abies'' subsect. ''Firmae''.〔〔 The species ''Abies ziyuanensis'' is included in ''Abies beshanzuensis'' as a variety by some botanists, though others place this species in a different subsection of the genus, ''Abies'' subsect. ''Holophyllae''.〔
