PINE. 



(Pinus spp. Family Pinacege.) 



Evergreen resiniferous trees distributed throughout the northern hemisphere; in 

 the tropical and subtropical regions they are confined to the mountains. They are 

 very valuable timber trees and many of them yield turpentine, tar, pitch from the 

 trunk, and medicinal oils from the leaves and young shoots. Edible seeds are pro- 

 duced by some. For convenience the insect pests are arranged under Conifers.
