That would be the one I learned as Cedrus atlantica var. glauca, but I think it is reclassified in the Cedrus group as a variety of a different species.

Stick that neck out...

Cedrus libani var. atlantica is listed as a synonym - so if you're a lumper, there you go.

Best scientific evidence is to have Atlas Cedar treated as Cedrus libani subsp. atlantica
