Pinus merkusii is closely related to the Tenasserim pine (P. latteri), which occurs farther north in southeast Asia from Myanmar to Vietnam; some botanists treat the two as conspecific (under the name P. merkusii, which was described first), but P. latteri differs in longer (18–27 cm or 7– 10 + 1 ⁄ 2 in) and stouter (over 1 mm thick) leaves and larger cones with thicker scales, the cones ...
