Home›Species›Taxonomy›PinopsidaTaxaPinopsidaClassReference and ClassificationVerifiedPinopsida is the taxonomic class of conifers, a group of vascular, cone bearing gymnosperm trees and shrubs making up the division Pinophyta. Conifers are mostly perennial, woody, evergreen plants with a regular branching pattern, reproducing through separate male and female cones usually borne on the same tree, and are wind pollinated with wind dispersed seeds. More than six hundred living species are known, and all extant conifers apart from the gnetophytes retain secondary woody growth.FactsPinopsidaConnectionsIn the Other AtlasesSourcesComments (0)Reader Challenges (0)FactsClassificationLiving or ExtinctWell-attestedYes 1Taxonomic RankWell-attestedClass 2PinopsidaFilter Results23 entriesCommon GroupAllAraucarias And Kauris (Araucariaceae) (1)Other Gymnosperms (1)Pines (Pinaceae) (19)Podocarps (Podocarpaceae) (1)Yews (Taxaceae) (1)HabitatAllAlpine (1)Bog (1)Boreal Forest (1)Chaparral (1)Desert (1)Lake (1)Steppe (1)Temperate Coniferous Forest (1)Temperate Forest (4)Temperate Rainforest (1)Wetlands (1)Conservation StatusAllCritically Endangered (1)Endangered (2)Extinct (1)Least Concern (12)Near Threatened (4)Vulnerable (1)EcosystemAllCalifornia Chaparral (1)Mediterranean Basin (1)Pacific Northwest Temperate Rainforest (1)Yellowstone (2)Everyday GroupAllAraucarias And Kauris (Araucariaceae) (1)Other Gymnosperms (1)Pines (Pinaceae) (19)Podocarps (Podocarpaceae) (1)Yews (Taxaceae) (1)DietAllParasitic (1)Photosynthetic Autotroph (22)System (Realm)AllTerrestrial (23)ThreatsAllBiological Resource Use (1)Relationship to PeopleAllEcotourism and Research (1)Farmed or Commercially Raised (1)Invasive or Introduced Species (10)Source of Timber or Wood (1)Used in Traditional Medicine (9)Living or ExtinctAllYes (22)Where It LivesAllAfghanistan (1)Albania (3)Algeria (2)Andorra (1)Argentina (6)Armenia (4)Asia (1)Australia (8)Austria (5)Belarus (3)Belgium (7)Bolivia (2)Bosnia and Herzegovina (1)Brazil (9)Bulgaria (3)Canada (5)Chile (2)Colombia (1)Croatia (3)Cyprus (3)Czechia (2)Democratic Republic of the Congo (1)Denmark (8)Ecuador (1)El Salvador (1)Estonia (2)Eswatini (1)Ethiopia (1)Finland (3)France (10)Georgia (3)Germany (8)Greece (5)Guatemala (1)Honduras (1)Hungary (5)Iceland (5)India (2)Iran (3)Iraq (1)Ireland (7)Italy (7)Japan (2)Kazakhstan (1)Kenya (1)Lesotho (3)Libya (3)Liechtenstein (1)Lithuania (4)Luxembourg (1)Malta (1)Manchuria (1)Mexico (6)Mongolia (1)Morocco (2)Netherlands (5)New Zealand (2)North America (15)Norway (11)Palestine (1)Peru (2)Poland (5)Portugal (5)Romania (6)Russia (2)Serbia (1)Slovakia (1)Slovenia (1)South Africa (2)South Asia (2)South Korea (1)Spain (7)Sudan (1)Sweden (8)Switzerland (3)Taiwan (7)Tunisia (2)Turkey (3)Ukraine (1)United Kingdom (7)United States (7)Uruguay (2)Venezuela (1)Show ResultsBrowseCompareSelect all 23African YellowwoodPinopsidaAleppo PinePinopsidaAraucarioxylon arizonicumPinopsidaAustrian PinePinopsidaDouglas FirPinopsidaEastern HemlockPinopsidaFoxtail PinePinopsidaGolden LarchPinopsidaJack PinePinopsidaJapanese Black PinePinopsidaJapanese Plum YewPinopsidaKeteleeria davidianaPinopsidaLodgepole PinePinopsidaMonterey PinePinopsidaPinus greggiiPinopsidaPinus pseudostrobusPinopsidaPonderosa PinePinopsidaScots PinePinopsidaTable Mountain PinePinopsidaTorrey PinePinopsidaUmbrella PinePinopsidaWestern HemlockPinopsidaWhitebark PinePinopsidaConnectionsParent Taxon OfAfrican Yellowwood, Species Well-attested Source GBIF Backbone Taxonomy: Podocarpus latifoliusAleppo Pine, Species Well-attested Source Pinus halepensis (Wikidata)tier 2Araucarioxylon arizonicum, Species Well-attested Source Wikidata: Araucarioxylon arizonicumAustrian Pine, Species Well-attested Source Pinus nigra (Wikidata)tier 2Douglas Fir, Species Well-attested Source Wikidata: Douglas FirEastern Hemlock, Species Well-attested Source Tsuga canadensis (Wikidata)tier 2Foxtail Pine, Species Well-attested Source Pinus balfouriana (Wikidata)tier 2Golden Larch, Species Well-attested Source Pseudolarix amabilis (Wikidata)tier 2Jack Pine, Species Well-attested Source Jack Pine (Wikidata)tier 2Japanese Black Pine, Species Well-attested Source Pinus thunbergii (Wikidata)tier 2Japanese Plum Yew, Species Well-attested Source GBIF Backbone Taxonomy: Cephalotaxus harringtoniiKeteleeria davidiana, Species Well-attested Source Keteleeria davidiana (Wikidata)tier 2Lodgepole Pine, Species Well-attested Source Pinus contorta (Wikidata)tier 2Monterey Pine, Species Well-attested Source Pinus radiata (Wikidata)tier 2Pinus greggii, Species Well-attested Source Pinus greggii (Wikidata)tier 2Pinus pseudostrobus, Species Well-attested Source Pinus pseudostrobus (Wikidata)tier 2Ponderosa Pine, Species Well-attested Source Wikidata: Ponderosa Pinetier 2Scots Pine, Species Well-attested Source Wikidata: Scots PineTable Mountain Pine, Species Well-attested Source Table Mountain Pine (Wikidata)tier 2Torrey Pine, Species Well-attested Source Torrey Pine (Wikidata)tier 2Umbrella Pine, Species Well-attested Source Wikidata: Umbrella Pinetier 2Western Hemlock, Species Well-attested Source Tsuga heterophylla (Wikidata)tier 2Whitebark Pine, Species Well-attested Source Pinus albicaulis (Wikidata)tier 2In the Other AtlasesFound InChinaAlso in Geography Atlas: where this subject is found.Sources1.
