Pinus chiapensis
Pinus chiapensis is a pine tree species in the family Pinaceae, and is commonly known as Chiapas pine, in Spanish as pino blanco, pinabete, or ocote.[1] Chiapas pine was formerly considered to be a variant of Pinus strobus, but is now understood to be a separate species.[2] DistributionThe tree is native to southern Mexico and Guatemala, where it is found from 600–2,200 metres (2,000–7,200 ft).[1] It is found in Central American pine-oak forests habitats, including in the Sierra Madre de Chiapas. Pinus chiapensis can grow to a height of 30–35 metres (98–115 ft).[3]
It is an introduced species in Colombia, Brazil, South Africa, and Queensland in Australia.[citation needed] See alsoReferences
