The currently accepted scientific name of white fir is Abies concolor (Gord. & Glend.) Lindl. ex Hildebr. (Pinaceae) [71,89,144,145,146,158,178,191,333,335]. Two varieties are recognized [71,144,185,186,191,309] based on differences in morphological and chemical characteristics [124,178,191]:

Abies concolor var. concolor Rocky Mountain white fir
Abies concolor var. lowiana (Gord.) Lemm. California white fir

California white fir naturally hybridizes with grand fir (Abies grandis) in a belt extending from north-west California, across Oregon, and into central Idaho [146,178,186,346,347,348]. Under controlled conditions, white fir has successfully been crossed with other firs. Fertile hybrids were produced with the following crosses [277,282]:

Abies concolor var. lowiana X Abies grandis
Abies concolor var. concolor X Abies religiosa
