The most expensive variety of Buddhist pine is the Hainan Buddhist pine (Podocarpus annamiensis). This type of Buddhist pine has a narrow distribution range and very few resources, so it has certain significance for studying the flora of Hainan and for species conservation. Its tree height usually reaches 16 m, its bark is grayish brown, and its leaves grow spirally and are linear-lanceolate or linear in shape.

I. What variety is it

The most expensive variety of Buddhist pine is the Hainan Buddhist pine. This Buddhist pine is distributed in Guangdong and in Wuzhishan, Lingshui, and other places on Hainan Island, growing scattered in forests at an altitude of 600 to 1600 m, and it is also distributed in Vietnam and Myanmar. This species has a narrow distribution range and very few resources, so it has certain significance for studying the flora of Hainan and for species conservation.

II. Morphological characteristics

The Hainan Buddhist pine can reach a tree height of 16 m and a diameter at breast height of about 60 cm. Its bark is grayish brown, and its terminal bud is nearly spherical. Its leaves grow spirally and usually cluster at the tips of the branches. They are thickly leathery, linear-lanceolate or linear in shape, about 4 to 10.5 cm long and about 5 to 10 mm wide, gradually narrowing toward the upper part, with a wedge-shaped base.
