Pinus taiwanensis, the Taiwan red pine, is a species of conifer in the family Pinaceae. It is found only in Taiwan. It is a close relative of Pinus luchuensis of Japan and Pinus hwangshanensis of China, sometimes considered as a subspecies of the former.[2] Sometimes P. hwangshanensis from China are also referred to as P. taiwanensis.[3] P. taiwanensis var. fragilissima and P. taiwanensis var. taiwanensis are the two varieties of this species. Taiwan red pine is a large tree, with a straight trunk up to 35 metres (115 feet) tall and 80 centimetres (2+1⁄2 ft) in diameter. Needles are in bundles of two. Cones are 6–7 cm (2+1⁄4–2+3⁄4 inches) long. It is a common species in the Central Mountain Range at altitudes of 750–3,000 m (2,500–9,800 ft), often in pure stands.[4]
