Abies sachalinensis var. mayriana, first described in 1919 by Kingo Miyabe (1860 - 1951) and Yushun Kudô (1887 - 1932), is a variant of Sakhalin fir native to Russia - Sakhalin island and Japan - Hokkaido, where it often overlaps with var. sachalinensis. It differs from the typical species in having bark that remains smooth with age and seed cones with bracts that are exserted between the scales and reflexed. The seed cones are yellowish green when mature.
