Pine; Pinus 
A characteristic of the Pines is that the leaves or needles 
are in bundles of two, three or five, united at the base, and 
are longer than those of the Spruce which occur singly and 
apparently scattered all over the stem though arranged spi- 
rally. Most Pines make large trees though a few are dwarf. 
Pine, Austrian or Black; Pinus nigra

rich green, 4 to 5 in. long; yellowish-brown cones 2 to 31/2 in.
