Profile
Scientific name:	Picea morrisonicola (Hayata)

Features:	The Picea morrisonicola is a large, evergreen coniferous tree with linear leaves that tend to have rhombus- or other uneven polygonal-shaped crosscuts. Their cones are long, obovate-shaped, and hang on the front part of the trees' branches, which are verticillated. The Picea morrisonicola has gray or reddish-brown bark, and its branches are straighter and less dense than those of the Abies kawakamii. Sometimes, its branches will droop downward from the weight of snow, giving the entire tree the appearance of a scarecrow with two hanging arms. The Picea morrisonicola is considered the tallest tree in Taiwan.
Habitat:	The Picea morrisonicola can be found in warm temperate climates at altitudes of 2500-3100m, an elevation range similar to that of the Tsuga chinensis formosana.
