Mexico: Oaxaca, District of Cuicatlin, between San Juan Zautla 
and San Pedro Teutila, long. 96°38’, lat. 17°58’, alt. 850 m., July 
1, 1939, Schultes 765 (Keon. Herb. Oakes Ames No. 9282; Herb. 
Arnold Arb. ). 
This endemic variety of Pinus Strobus was described 
in 1940 from several collections which were made in the 
extreme western part of Chiapas. The collection cited 
above represents a considerable extension of range north- 
westward. 
Pinus Strobus var. chiapensis is very distinct from the 
other pines of northeastern Oaxaca. It is tall and has a 
straight and smooth trunk which lacks branches near the 
base. Schultes 765 was collected in an extensive forest 
which is a pure stand of this variety.
