Pinus arunachalensis

Pinus arunachalensis is a species of large-sized conifer in the family Pinaceae.
It is native to the Arunachal Pradesh state of northeastern India, specifically near the towns or districts of Tawang and West [Kameng district|West Kameng] in the eastern Himalayan Mountains, from which Pinus ravii is also found. The species range is located within a temperate climate. It has a smaller structure and size than Pinus wallichiana, but is larger than Pinus ravii.

Etymology

The Latin epithet "arunachalensis" in Pinus arunachalensis was named for the States and [union territories of India|state] of Arunachal Pradesh, India.
It was originally listed under the now regarded synonym: Pinus parva, but the same scientific name was already taken for a fossil pine species, hence it was renamed and revised as such.
