		The Old Norse name is still used for pines in some modern north European languages: in Danish, fyr, in Nowegian, furu, and Föhre in parts of Germany, but in modern English, "fir" is now restricted to Abies and Pseudotsuga.

	Terrestrial Ecoregions -- Yunnan Plateau subtropical evergreen forests (PA0102)
		Yunnan, the land "south of the clouds," represents China’s transition to the monsoon-dominated tropics of Indochina.
		Yunnan Plateau vegetation is floristically similar to the lower temperate forests of the Eastern Himalaya, although species richness here tends to be greater than in the eastern Himalaya.
		CVMCC (1979) Vegetation Map of China include: Yunnan pine (9); warm-temperate evergreen or deciduous shrubs (32b and 33); evergreen and deciduous mixed forests (19 and 21b); cultivated areas or plantation (73c, 72b, and 74a).

		These shortcomings, identified during a study of wildlife trade in the region in 1997, may have been exacerbated by the changes the authors found had occurred in market demand, methods of transportation and transactions, and in the function of open markets since previous surveys were undertaken in the region three years earlier.
		The potential natural vegetation of Yunnan is described in thirteen major categories based on geographical region and climate (tropical, monsoon, subtropical, montane), seasonality (evergreen, deciduous), stature of dominants (trees, shrubs, herbs, savanna) and leaf form (broadleaved; 'conifer').
		Yunnan province is in southwest China, bordering Burma, Vietnam, and Laos.

		This pine is remarkable in its appearance in the forests on account of the long outward and downward sweep of the branches, the first of which often arise at loo ft. above the ground.
		The pine forests, which cover large tracts of sandy soil in the Lake States, are composed of varying mixtures of P. Strobus, P. resinosa, and P. Banksiana.1 On poor dry sand the two latter species outgrow and supplant the former, while on moist deep sand P. Strobus is the more vigorous.
		The white pine grows naturally on all kinds of soil, and varies very much in its habit according to the soil and surroundings, but flourishes best in a deep, moist sandy loam, and in land which, being covered with a thick growth of moss, never dries in summer.
