Pinus chiapensis

Pinus chiapensis is a pine tree species in the family Pinaceae, and is commonly known as Chiapas pine, in Spanish as pino blanco, pinabete, or ocote. Chiapas pine was formerly considered to be a variant of pinus strobus, but is now understood to be a separate species.

Distribution
The tree is native to southern Mexico and Guatemala, where it is found from 600 - 2200 m. It is found in Central American pine-oak forests habitats, including in the Sierra Madre de Chiapas. Pinus chiapensis can grow to a height of 30 - 35 m.
