Pinus arunachalensis[1][2] is a species of large-sized[citation needed] conifer in the family Pinaceae.[1]
It is native to the Arunachal Pradesh state of northeastern India,[2] specifically near the towns or districts of Tawang and West Kameng in the eastern Himalayan Mountains, from which Pinus ravii is also found.[citation needed] The species range is located within a temperate climate.[2] It has a smaller structure and size than Pinus wallichiana, but is larger than Pinus ravii.[citation needed]
Etymology
[edit]The Latin epithet "arunachalensis" in Pinus arunachalensis was named for the state of Arunachal Pradesh, India.[citation needed]
It was originally listed under the now regarded synonym: Pinus parva (Pinus wallichiana var. parva), but the same scientific name was already taken for a fossil pine species, hence it was renamed and revised as such.[2]
