Loiseleur Deslongchamps observes that the silver fir was called by the ancients Abies, and the spruce Picea; and that Linnaeus has created much confusion by reversing the application of the names. He proposes, therefore, to call the silver Eir jl'bies vgra, and the spruce fir .^l^bies Picea. (N. Du Ham., v. 214. note.) Link has divided the spruces and silver firs into two genera, and given the classical names of Picea to the first genus, and ^'bies to the second (see Abhnnd. Akad. der Wissenscha/ten, jahr 1827, p. 157.) ; and in this he has been followed by Nees von Esenbeck and Ledebour. We have followed Lambert and D. Don, as already stated under .il'bies, p. 1025.
