Cedrus atlantica (Cedus libani var. atlantica) is native to the Atlas Mountains of Algeria and Morroco and considered by some to be a varietal form of Cedar of Lebanon (Cedrus libani). It is often planted in parks, particularly the form with blue-grey foliage called Cedrus atlantica var. glauca. It is only found as planted individuals in West Glamorgan and does not occur naturalised.
