The Amboina pine, also called dammar pine, is a conifer in the family Araucariaceae native to Sulawesi, the Maluku Islands, and the Philippines. It is a medium to large tree reaching up to 60 meters, with long clear trunks topped by an emergent crown, grey resin blistered bark, and foliage that varies considerably in color between individual trees; it is harvested both for dammar resin and for timber. The IUCN Red List classifies it as Vulnerable.
