Douglas fir
Douglas fir, with the scientific name ''Pseudotsuga menziesii'', is an evergreen conifer species native to western North America.
==Naming==
The common name honors David Douglas, a Scottish botanist and collector who first reported the extraordinary nature and potential of the species. The common name is misleading since it is not a true fir, i.e., not a member of the genus ''Abies''. For this reason the name is often written as Douglas-fir (a name also used for the genus ''Pseudotsuga'' as a whole).
The specific epithet, ''menziesii'', is after Archibald Menzies, a Scottish physician and rival naturalist to David Douglas. Menzies first documented the tree on Vancouver Island in 1791. Colloquially, the species is also known simply as Doug-fir or as Douglas pine (although the latter common name may also refer to ''Pinus douglasiana'').
One Coast Salish name for the tree, used in the Halkomelem language, is ''lá:yelhp''.〔Dictionary of Upriver Halkomelem, Volume I, pp. 213. Galloway, Brent Douglas. 〕
