The genus ''[[Pinus]]'', commonly known as '''pine''', encompasses a diverse group of [[tree]]s and [[shrub]]s native to various regions across the world. Pines are evergreen, coniferous resinous trees (rarely shrubs) growing 3-80 meters tall, with the majority of species reaching 15-45 meters tall. The genus is the largest in the family [[Pinaceae]], and is considered important both ecologically and economically. Pines are known for their long, needle-shaped leaves and for their cones, which are the reproductive structures of the tree. This article provides a comprehensive list of ''Pinus'' species, highlighting their significant diversity and distribution.

==Classification==
The genus ''Pinus'' is divided into two subgenera based on cone, seed, and leaf characteristics: ''Pinus'' (the yellow pines) and ''Strobus'' (the white pines). Each subgenus is further divided into sections and subsections.

===Subgenus Pinus===
* ''[[Pinus subgenus Pinus]]'' - Characterized by their hard pine cones and needles grouped in twos or threes.

===Subgenus Strobus===
* ''[[Pinus subgenus Strobus]]'' - Known for their soft pine cones and needles grouped in fives.

==List of Species==
Below is a selection of species from the genus ''Pinus'', showcasing the diversity within this genus.

===Subgenus Pinus===
* ''[[Pinus arizonica]]'' – Arizona Pine
* ''[[Pinus bungeana]]'' – Lacebark Pine
* ''[[Pinus contorta]]'' – Lodgepole Pine
* ''[[Pinus densiflora]]'' – Japanese Red Pine
* ''[[Pinus echinata]]'' – Shortleaf Pine
* ''[[Pinus elliottii]]'' – Slash Pine
* ''[[Pinus jeffreyi]]'' – Jeffrey Pine
* ''[[Pinus nigra]]'' – Austrian Pine
* ''[[Pinus palustris]]'' – Longleaf Pine
* ''[[Pinus ponderosa]]'' – Ponderosa Pine
* ''[[Pinus radiata]]'' – Monterey Pine
* ''[[Pinus sylvestris]]'' – Scots Pine
* ''[[Pinus taeda]]'' – Loblolly Pine

===Subgenus Strobus===
* ''[[Pinus albicaulis]]'' – Whitebark Pine
* ''[[Pinus cembra]]'' – Swiss Pine
* ''[[Pinus flexilis]]'' – Limber Pine
* ''[[Pinus lambertiana]]'' – Sugar Pine
* ''[[Pinus longaeva]]'' – Great Basin Bristlecone Pine
* ''[[Pinus monticola]]'' – Western White Pine
* ''[[Pinus peuce]]'' – Macedonian Pine
* ''[[Pinus strobus]]'' – Eastern White Pine
* ''[[Pinus wallichiana]]'' – Himalayan White Pine

==Conservation==
Many ''Pinus'' species are considered of conservation concern, with threats including habitat loss, invasive species, and climate change. Conservation efforts are crucial to protect these species and their habitats for future generations.

==Uses==
Pines are utilized in a variety of ways, including timber production, resin extraction, and as ornamental trees in gardens and parks. They also play a critical role in their ecosystems, providing habitat and food for numerous wildlife species.
