Here are seven species of 5-leaved pines in Japan and China, from 

 which the present Pinus is quite different in having cylindrical long cones. 

 The new species is the most near to P. formosana which is different from 

 ours in having ovoidal cones. The scales of the cone of this species are 

 much thinner than those of any other kind of pines.
