Masson's Pine

Pinus massoniana, commonly known as Masson's pine or Chinese red pine, is a species of conifer in the family Pinaceae. It is a pine native to Taiwan, a wide area of central and southern China, including Hong Kong, and northern Vietnam.

The specific Latin epithet massoniana refers to Scottish botanist Francis Masson. The distinctive shape of the leaf clusters, which resemble a horse's tail, has given rise to the species' Chinese common name 馬尾松, lit. 'horse-tail pine'.
