The fir is a tree of great bearing that can get to reach the 60 meters of height; of straight trunk and relatively smooth crust, grayish, with the piramidal glass, all the year stays green. The branches have them ordered by floors, extended. The fir has male flowers and females, but on the same foot. Form rollizas, of not more than 5 cm. in width, prolonged and raised fragmentation hand grenades on the branches, with the grudges that cover the seeds. These fragmentation hand grenades are not come off the tree, since they do those of the pines, but that is disturbed in the branches after maturing and is loosen to pinions and grudges, thus leaving bare the axis of the fragmentation hand grenade. One grows up forming fir woods in most of the Pyrenean one, mainly in his more northern slopes.
It blooms in spring and the fragmentation hand grenades mature during the following autumn. Of the harvesting they interest yolks, leaves, crust and resins.
From the yolks one removes to a resin and an essence composed of limoneno and pineno. From the leaves we also obtain glucósidos, piceina and an essence. In the crust we found cellulose, minerals and tannins.

In external use he is rubefaciente, that is to say, that applied on the skin reddens it and inflames, taking advantage of this virtue to apply on her other medicines that penetrate better in the skin. It is necessary to remember that, when being an essence, the due precautions by the possible appearance from irritations and allergies are due to keep.
