Introduction

The validity of this species is in question. For example, Farjon and Styles (1997) consider it a variety of P. cembroides (subspecies cembroides var. bicolor). On the other hand, it is considered a valid species by Price et al. (1998), and forms a separate lineage from P. cembroides in chloroplast DNA trees (Gernandt et al. 2003).

This page is a Tree of Life Leaf Page.

Each ToL leaf page provides a synopsis of the characteristics of a group of organisms representing a leaf at the tip of the Tree of Life. The major distinction between a leaf and a branch of the Tree of Life is that a leaf cannot generally be further subdivided into subgroups representing distinct genetic lineages.

For a more detailed explanation of the different ToL page types, have a look at the Structure of the Tree of Life page.
