Taxonomic Comments
Many botanists and taxonomists consider P. ARIZONICA to be a variety of P. PONDEROSA. They are closely related and quite similar, but number of leaves, resin canals and cone scales prickles differenciate them (Perry, 1991). Kartesz (1994 checklist) maintains this as a distinct species, with two varieties (vars. arizonica and stormiae). FNA (1993) considers it instead a variety of Pinus ponderosa, and does not mention var. stormiae.
