Based on the above, the species is a tropical forest main canopy tree some 25–30 m high in Vietnam, [5] or up to 36 m tall and 0.93 m dbh in Indonesia; trunks and stems can exude white to yellow latex. The leaves are approximately 130 x 60 mm. Flowers are yellowish, approximately 12 mm. Fruits are ovoid up to 45 mm: with 5-10 segments.
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 ...
