White Pines (Section Quinquefoliae)Observer
doctorfuzzDescription
At 6880’, this specimen seems to be at the lower bound of its typical elevation range. Its cone and needle length distinguish it from P. lambertiana, and the pattern of its bark plates distinguishes it from P. monticola. Surrounding white pines appear to all be P. lambertiana, so its presence here is an anomaly

This is my best guess considering it's not in bloom, but nothing else nearby appears to fit the bill. Correct me if I'm wrong.
Thank you!
