This is one of the finest of Indian pines. It is described as attaining 150 to 180 ft in height and a trunk-girth of 20 to 35 ft. The winter-buds are ovoid, not resinous; the leaves in threes, 8 in. to over 12 in. long. Cones elongated, ovoid, 5 to 8 in. long, 2{1/2} to 3{1/2} in. wide. It is the chief resin-producing pine of India. Tender, although capable of being grown in Cornish gardens.
