The population in central Sumatra, between 1° 40' and 2° 06' S latitude, is the only natural occurrence of any member of the Pinaceae south of the Equator. It generally occurs at moderate altitudes, mostly {{convert|400|–|1500|m|ft}}, but occasionally as low as {{convert|90|m|ft}} and up to {{convert|2000|m|ft}}. DescriptionPinus merkusii is a medium-sized to large tree, reaching {{convert|25|–|45|m|ft}} tall and with a trunk diameter of up to {{convert|1|m|ft}}. The bark is orange-red, thick and deeply fissured at the base of the trunk, and thin and flaky in the upper crown. The leaves ("needles") are in pairs, very slender, 15–20 cm long and less than 1 mm thick, green to yellowish green. The cones are narrow conic, 5–8 cm long and 2 cm broad at the base when closed, green at first, ripening glossy red-brown. They open to 4–5 cm broad at maturity to release the seeds. The seeds are 5–6 mm long, with a 15–20 mm wing, and are wind-dispersed. Related speciesPinus merkusii, the Sumatran pine, is closely related to the Tenasserim pine (Pinus latteri), which occurs farther north in southeast Asia from Myanmar to Vietnam; some botanists treat the two as conspecific (under the name Pinus merkusii, which was described first), but Pinus latteri differs in longer (18–27 cm) and stouter (over 1 mm thick) leaves and larger cones with thicker scales, the cones often remaining closed for some time after maturity. It is also related to the group of Mediterranean pines including Aleppo pine and Turkish pine, which share many features with it.
