| | Definition: | | \Pi"nus\, n. [L., a pine tree.] (Bot.)
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}.
