The number of species has long been debated, but two in western North America and two to four in eastern Asia are commonly acknowledged. Nineteenth-century botanists had problems in classifying Douglas-firs, due to the species' similarity to various other conifers better known at the time; they have at times been classified in ""Pinus"", ""Picea"", ""Abies"", ""Tsuga"", and even ""Sequoia""."
