Pinus henryi, Henry's pine, is a species of conifer in the family Pinaceae.[1]
Description[]
P. henryi is a monoecious evergreen tree, reaching up to 30m tall and 100cm DBH, typically with a single straight trunk. The bark on mature P. henryi is scaly, fissured, and broken into large irregular plates, which are grey-brown in color, and flaky. The twigs are thick, with new shoots appearing reddish-brown in color. The needles are 7 - 12cm long, and in fascicles of 2, and persist for 2 - 3 years before falling off. Pollen cones appear in clusters at the base of new shoots, and are only 2cm long. Seed cones are thin and woody, and bear a short stout spine.[2]

P. henryi is typically considered to be endemic to China,[3] found in the Chongqing, Hubei, Hunan, Shaanxi, and Sichuan provinces. Some sources also place it in the Vietnamese provinces of Ha Giang and Bac Kan. P. henryi occurs in subtropical mountains, typically at elevations 1,100 - 2,000m, primarily on dry, sunny slopes.[2]
