For a full discussion of this table, see FIR IN NORTH AMERICA

caveats:

• species are limited to ones that grow in North America
• common names are limited to English-language names
• common names are not limited to ones that include the word "fir" because the firs have SO MANY other common names that it would have been inaccurate to leave them out
• Douglas-fir species are included in the list even though they are not actually firs
• I do not guarantee the accuracy of this list
• apologies for the inappropriate lack of capitalization
