| definition | Distribution: This genus consists of c. 100 species in the Northern. Several are major
community dominants over vast areas of northern coniferous forests in Eurasia and
North America. A number of species are major economic timber sources both in natural
stands and extensive plantations world-wide. Many are also cultivated in Australia
and overseas as ornamentals and to provide shelter in pastoral and agricultural areas.
Several species are widely planted for forestry in Australia, and the Flora of Australia
publication reported 11 to be sporadically naturalised, with none appearing to be
established outside areas in which they have been planted. The Australian Plant Census
lists 19 species. Description: The species within this genus are monoecious trees or shrubs. For more details regarding the description of species within this genus please see: https://profiles.ala.org.au/opus/foa/profile/Pinus Pollen Morphology: The pollen produced by this genus have an elliptical central body shape with two large air bladders. These pollen grains are between 75-100um long and the bladders are covered with an irregular, almost vein-like reticulum surface texture. |
