History of Pinus halepensis
You neglected to also do a search on its common name, Aleppo pine. Apparently
it was not introduced to Spain & other countries in Europe, but is native there. I found this on a Moroccan site: Aleppo pine (Pinus halepensis Mill.) is a coniferous species, which cover about 3.5 million hectares in the Mediterranean area. It extends from 9° longitude west in Morocco to 36° longitude east in Jordan, and from 45° latitude north in France to 31°30' latitude in Palestine and Israel. Throughout its range, it individualizes several races and ecotypes related to localities, altitude and soil substrate. Its origin in Morocco, Spain and France is likely natural and Moroccan populations seem to be relic.

History of Pinus halepensis
Thanks for the additional info. To be fair, not everybody's browser hits
everything the first time. I am sure I have searched on P. halepensis, but I never saw these before. I dunno why they called it P. halepensis. It practically doesn't occur in Syria at all. Now I know its Spanish name. But I still haven't got one one. Anybody know where I can get a small one?

Iris, + + + Different search engines turn up different results, so the exact sequence of the top hits will vary a little. Perhaps the epithet "halepensis" has something to do with the fact that the species used to include P.brutia which does occur in Syria. Actually Miller's "The gardeners dictionary" is just the sort of thing that would be very useful on the internet and it may well be there, somewhere. PvR |

From a nomenclatural perspective the important editions a - for binary names (species) the eight edition (1768) - for generic names the fourth edition (1754) of the abridged version The link is for the seventh edition (1759), which however does appear to already have this species (number eight under Pinus, plate 208). Here already it is the Aleppo pine, no reason or clues given. PvR |
