Conifers and Other Gymnosperms

Pinus greggii, known as Gregg's pine, is a small to medium-sized pine in the family Pinaceae, native to eastern Mexico, where it occurs in two geographically distinct populations in the Sierra Madre Oriental across the states of Coahuila, Nuevo Leon, Hidalgo, Puebla, San Luis Potosi, Queretaro, and Veracruz, separated by roughly 360 kilometers between a northern population near 24 to 25 degrees north and a southern population near 20 to 21 degrees north. It reaches 15 to 25 meters tall with an open crown of long, slender branches, needles in bundles of three averaging 11 centimeters long, cones borne singly or in clusters of up to ten, and smooth bark on the upper trunk. It has been introduced to several other countries and is assessed as Near Threatened by the IUCN.
