Picea alcoquiana var. reflexa, as described in 1930 by (Shiras.) Fitschen, is a variety of Alcock's spruce found in central Honshu (Akaishi Range). The new shoots are pubescent and the needles are 0.75 to 0.88 inch (20 - 22 mm) long, curving forwards. The seed cones are up to 3 inches (7.5 cm) long, with scales with the entire margin, apically narrowed and reflexed.
