The Atlas Cedar (Cedrus atlantica, synonym Cedrus libani subsp. atlantica) is a species of coniferous tree in the family Pinaceae formerly considered a subspecies of the cedar of Lebanon. He is from the Atlas, a mountain range in North Africa. In its natural area, in Morocco and Algeria, it is considered endangered by the IUCN. A majestic tree, it has been planted in many parks. Also called blue cedar or silver cedar, the Atlas cedar is a majestic and imposing looking tree that can reach a height of 30 to 40 meters; its habit, although often showing a tabular crown in adulthood, is more slender than that of Cedrus libani; its longevity is significant (500-600 years, sometimes much longer under favorable conditions). An important forest species, its fine, light and aromatic wood is used in cabinet making or for making frames. Its fragrant resin was used to embalm mummies.
