"Pinus" is a word in ENGLISH
A large genus of evergreen coniferous trees, mostly found in
the northern hemisphere. The genus formerly included the firs, spruces,
larches, and hemlocks, but is now limited to those trees which have the
primary leaves of the branchlets reduced to mere scales, and the
secondary ones (pine needles) acicular, and usually in fascicles of two
to seven. See Pine.
