			Douglas Fir (costal)Pseudotsuga menziesii (Mirb.) Franco
			Coastal Douglas-fir is a giant (>85 m) and long-lived (>1000 years) species. Its characteristic pointy buds, three-pronged bracts longer than the cone scales, and very thick and furrowed mature bark are all distinguishing features of this species.
			Douglas Fir (interior)Pseudotsuga menziesii (Mirb.) Franco
			Interior Douglas-fir is a medium-sized tree (>35 m). It possesses similar noteworthy features to the coastal Douglas-fir although its cones are shorter and stalkier, and the foliage is coloured with a bluish hue. The First Peoples ate the seeds of interior Douglas-fir.
