Abies numidica, also known as the Algerian fir, is a species of evergreen tree found only in Algeria on Djebel Babor, the second-highest mountain in the Algerian Tell Atlas. It can reach heights of 20-35 meters and has needle-like leaves that are dark green with a patch of greenish-white stomata near the tip. The cones are green with a pink or violet tinge and disintegrate when mature to release the seeds. This tree grows in a high-altitude Mediterranean climate and is closely related to the Spanish fir. It is sometimes grown as an ornamental tree for its drought tolerance.
