Pinaceae description |
 | | Pinaceae are known in the fossil record since the Cretaceous. |
 | | The Pinaceae are by far the most economically and ecologically important gymnosperm family. |
 | | Without the Pinaceae, the gymnosperms are little more than a botanical curiosity, their dominance largely confined to semiarid regions with their abundant Juniperus. |
