NationMaster - Encyclopedia: Pinus classification

There are three main subgenera of Pinus, the subgenus Strobus (White pines or soft pines), the subgenus Ducampopinus (Pinyon, Bristlecone and Lacebark pines), and the subgenus Pinus (Typical pines, or yellow or hard pines). This classification into the three subgenera is based on cone, seed and leaf characters: For other uses, see Pine (disambiguation). ... Species Section Cembroides Pinus cembroides Pinus orizabensis Pinus johannis Pinus culminicola Pinus remota Pinus edulis Pinus monophylla Pinus quadrifolia Section Rzedowskiae Pinus rzedowskii Pinus pinceana Pinus maximartinezii Section Nelsoniae Pinus nelsonii The pinyon pines (or piñon pines), are a group of pines, which grow in the southwestern United States... Species Pinus aristata Pinus longaeva Pinus balfouriana The bristlecone pines are a small group of pine trees (Family Pinaceae, genus Pinus, subsection Balfourianae) that can reach an age far greater than that of any other single living organism known, up to nearly 5,000 years. ...

Subgenus Strobus Scale without a sealing band. Umbo terminal. Seedwings adnate. One fibrovascular bundle per leaf.
Subgenus Ducampopinus Scale without a sealing band. Umbo dorsal. Seedwings articulate. One fibrovascular bundle per leaf.
Subgenus Pinus Scale with a sealing band. Umbo dorsal. Seedwings articulate. Two fibrovascular bundles per leaf.

Notice that in many respects, subgenus Ducampopinus is intermediate between (and possibly ancestral to) the other two subgenera. In many classifications, it is combined into subgenus Strobus, but it could with equal justification have been included in subgenus Pinus (as was done in an early classification by the Californian botanist J G Lemmon in 1888), yet it does not sit comfortably in either so is best treated as a third subgenus in its own right. In general, cone and cone scale and seed morphology and leaf fascicle and sheath morphology are emphasized and this seems to result in a classification that has subsections of pines that are understandable and usually readily recognized by their general appearance. Pines with one fibrovascular bundle per leaf, i.e. subgenera Strobus and Ducampopinus, are known as haploxylon pines, while pines with two fibrovascular bundles per leaf, i.e. subgenus Pinus, are called diploxylon pines. Diploxylon pines tend to have harder timber and more amounts of resin than the haploxylon pines.

*The Application of Remote Sensing to the Inventory of White Pine (Pinus Strobus* L.) in Eastern Ohio, Research ...** (720 words)
	This first application in Ohio of remote sensing and GIS technology to inventory a forest species for forest management and utilization purposes was successful, providing useful information and forming the foundation for further refinements of the technology.
	This initial classification of land area into conifer or non-conifer saved much time compared to working with aerial photographs and performing the field work that would have been required with more traditional inventory methods.
	Karteris (1990) used a six-band combination of Landsat TM data to achieve classification accuracies for individual stands of conifers ranging from 79.7 percent for Scotch pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) to 88.7 percent for Jack pine (Pinus banksiana Lamb.).
