Rácz, István; Huyen, D. D.: Study of a low-elevation occurrence of Pinus dalatensis Ferré (Pinaceae) in Gia Lai province, Vietnam

— Pinus dalatensis subsp. procera - 1,720 to 2,250 m. As described below, the lowest known occurrence of the species in Vietnam is in the Kon Jot forest, vicinity of Pleiku, part of the Kondzatram mountain range in the middle part of the Annam Highlands. Fig. 1. The presently known (combined) range of P. dalatensis (black) with the Kon Jot occurrence, based on BUSINSKY (1999), LUU and THOMAS (2004), NGUYEN et al. (2004) and THOMAS et al. (2007). P. d. d. = Pinus dalatensis (var./subsp. dalatensis), P. d. b. = P. dalatensis var. bidoupensis, and P. d. p. = P. dalatensis subsp.procera (P. d. s. L: subspecific status not specified in THOMAS et al. 2007). The location with "?" remains unverified. The morphology and taxonomy of Pinus dalatensis have been discussed, even if briefly, in several works (FlPI 1996, NGHIA 2000, NGUYEN et al. 2004). Only BUSINSKY ( 1999) made a detailed morphological account of P. dalatensis and established a new subspecies and a new variety. His taxonomy was based on thorough field investigation but left open some questions, i.e. the exact distribution of his subspecific taxa. FARION (2005)
