« Pin » est la désignation générique des conifères appartenant au genre Pinus, de la famille des Pinacées. En Haïti, ils sont appelés « bois chandelle » ou « bois pin ». Ce sont des résineux à feuilles en aiguilles groupées en faisceaux par 2, 3 ou 5 et dont les fructifications sont des cônes constitués d'écailles à l'aisselle desquelles on trouve les graines. Ce genre est de loin le plus important des conifères. Au moins 111 espèces ont été décrites, parmi lesquelles beaucoup sont des essences forestières importantes. Plusieurs espèces, introduites hors de leur habitat naturel sont localement devenues envahissantes. Les espèces du genre Pinus sont les arbres les plus répandus dans le monde, essentiellement dans l'hémisphère nord bien que souvent naturalisés dans l'hémisphère sud. D'autres espèces de conifères sont appelées improprement « pins » alors qu'elles ne font pas partie du genre Pinus. C'est le cas du pin d'Oregon, plus souvent appelé « sapin de Douglas » en Europe, qui n'est en fait ni un pin ni un sapin mais un membre du genre Pseudotsuga ; un autre exemple en est le Wollemia nobilis, une espèce d'Araucariaceae, qui est également appelée improprement « pin de Wollemia ».

A DNA barcode is a short, standardised stretch of genes that works like a fingerprint — enough to tell one species from another. Below is the molecular trace Pinus has left across the world's sequence archives.
At a glance
★ the standard DNA barcode for this group — the short region actually read to tell this species apart. The rest are extra genes sequenced along the way.
How far back this lineage goes — and how we know. Everything here is measured in Ma, short for “mega-annum”: millions of years ago. The chart reads left to right like a calendar of the Earth, from the deep past on the left to today at the right edgetop to bottom like a core drilled through the Earth, from the deep past at the top down to today at the bottom.
At a glance
When this lineage existed
How to read this: the coloured strip along the bottomdown the left is the geological calendar — the standard periods (Jurassic, Cretaceous…) every museum uses, shown so you can see which chapter of Earth's history this lineage lived in. The dashed rules marked ✦ are the five great mass extinctions. The solid bar is the fossil range: the span between the oldest and the youngest fossil that palaeontologists have assigned to Pinus. Above itBeside it, the bars count how many dated finds fall in each slice of time; the tallest bar is labelled, and heights use a square-root scale so that thin slices stay visible next to rich ones. Read this as how well each stretch of time is preserved and studied — thick bars mean plenty of the right kind of rock and plenty of collectors, which is related to, but not the same as, how common it actually was.

Human sightings and records, or camera-trap / sensor detections — someone (or a device) saw or captured the species in the wild.

Cultivated / Captivenot free-living
A living individual in a botanical garden, zoo or nursery — cultivated or kept, not free-living.
Where the DNA of Pinus was picked up in samples of water, soil or air — nobody saw the organism, only its DNA left behind. A trace is a clue that the species was near, not a confirmed sighting.

How to read this: each dot is one detection of this species' DNA in an environmental sample. The confidence meter weighs how many independent studies and places back up the signal — one detection in one study is a hint; many across several studies is solid. Records dated before 2008 (when eDNA methods began) are treated as likely mislabeled and left off the map.
