THE BALSAM FIR (Jhles hahamca) 



Blunt, flat leaves, pale beneath and 2-ranked on the twig, characterise this species. On the old branches the leaves 

 5re sparse and scattered. The ohlong cones are erect on the stem. The bark of young trunks and branches are marked 

 kets which discharge clear balsam when tapped
