78 Picea abies (L.) Karst.

This polymorphic species has a wide Eurasiatic distribution. Several lower taxa are distinguished. Here only P. abies s. str. (P. abies subsp. abies), endemic to Europe, and P. abies subsp. obovata (Ledeb.) Domin are mapped. P. abies s. str. shows introgression with subsp. obovata in N. Russia, subsp. obovata with P. koraiensis Nakai in E. Asia and with P. schrenkiana Fisch. & Mey. in the Altai area. The distribution of these two Picea species is also indicated.
