Pinus kesiya

Content

Description

Tree to 35-45 m, the crown expanding on older trees. Bark reddish brown, thick and deeply reticu-lately fissured, breaking off in small thick irregular plates and thus sometimes becoming smoother and plate-like. Branchlets smooth, bright brown. Seed 5-8 by 3 mm with a deciduous wing 20 by 8 mm.

Distribution

Asia-Tropical: Philippines (Philippines present), E. India present, Khasia present, SE. Asia present, a short way into China present, northern part of Luzon present

Across SE. Asia to E. India (Khasia) and a short way into China; in Malesia: Philippines (common in the northern part of Luzon). .

Notes

Pinus timorensis (an earlier name) was thought by some to be equal to P. kesiya (P. insularis) although the description is inadequate to confirm this. There are no native pines in Timor; perhaps this was a cultivated tree.
