Subspecies and genetics Pinus monophylla



mature pinus monophylla subsp. monophylla in snow, mono co. california



pinus monophylla subsp. californiarum (d. k. bailey) zavarin. southernmost nevada, southwest through southeastern california (northwest far san jacinto mountains) 29°n in northern baja california. needles less stout, gray-green, 8-16 resin canals , 13-18 stomatal lines. cones 4.5–6 cm (1 ⁄4–2 ⁄8 in) long, broader long.
pinus monophylla subsp. fallax (e. l. little) d.k. bailey. slopes of lower colorado river valley , adjacent tributaries st. george, utah hualapai mountains, , along lower flank of mogollon rim silver city, new mexico. needles less stout, gray-green, 2-3 resin canals , 8-16 stomatal lines. cones 4.5–6 cm (1 ⁄4–2 ⁄8 in) long, broader long.

it closely related colorado pinyon, hybridises (both subsps. monophylla , fallax) ranges meet in western arizona , utah. (subsp. californiarum) hybridises extensively parry pinyon. classification of pinyon species based upon presence of single-needle fascicles brought doubt reporting of trees both pinus monophylla/pinus edulis , pinus monophylla subsp. fallax/pinus edulis zones growing more single needle fascicles after dry years , more two-needled fascicles after wet years.


mojave national preserve

an isolated population of single-leaf pinyon trees in mojave desert s new york mountains, within mojave national preserve of southeast california, has needles in pairs , thought colorado pinyons. have been shown two-needled variant of single-leaf pinyon chemical , genetic evidence.


occasional two-needled pinyons in northern baja california hybrids between single-leaf pinyon , parry pinyon.
