Pinus morrisonicola

Pinus morrisonicola (Taiwan white pine; Chinese: 台湾五针松; pinyin: taiwan wuzhensong; literally: 'Taiwan five-needle pine'), is a species of conifer in the family Pinaceae. It is a large tree, up to 15–25 m (49–82 ft) high and 1.2 m (4 ft) in diameter. The trunk is often crooked. Needles are in bundles of five. Mature cones are large, to 10 cm (4 in) long and 4–5 cm (1.6–2.0 in) in diameter. Pinus morrisonicola is endemic to Taiwan. It grows at altitudes of 300–2,300 m (980–7,550 ft) throughout the island. At present, it is scarce at lower elevations and mostly present at higher elevations and less accessible places.
