Picea omorika

: 10/20 cm
Picea omorika, the Serbian spruce, Panciceva omorika, Pancics spruce, is a species of coniferous tree endemic to the Drina River valley in western Serbia, and eastern Bosnia and Herzegovina, with a total range of only about 60 ha, at 800–1,600 m (2,600–5,200 ft) altitude. It was originally discovered near the Serbian village of Zaovine, on Mount Tara, in 1875, and named by the Serbian botanist Josif Pancic; the specific epithet omorika is simply the Serbian word for the tree (other spruces are smrca in Serbian).
