Pinus chiapensis is a pine tree species in the family Pinaceae, and is commonly known as Chiapas pine, in Spanish as pino blanco, pinabete, or ocote.[1] Chiapas pine was formerly considered to be a variant of Pinus strobus, but is now understood to be a separate species.[2]

Pinus chiapensis can grow to a height of 30–35 metres (98–115 ft).[3]
