Abstract

Himalayan forests are dwelling to intriguing plants that are imperative resources of pharmacologically active products and possess diverse therapeutic effects.

The present chapter provides an overview of morphological characteristics, distribution, phytochemical composition, and potential pharmacological applications of Abies pindrow (Royle ex D. Don) Royle (Himalayan pindrow fir).
