This is the flat-leaved Spruce of northeastern Asia and of Japan and is the 

 only species of the section Omorica so far known from those regions. Its geograph- 

 ical range is very great, greater in fact than that of any other species of eastern 

 Asia, for it is found spread over 30 degrees of longitude and 22 degrees of latitude. 

 On the mainland it extends from near Port Aian (Ayan) about latitude 56 30',
