A study has been made of the Pinus ponderosa/arizonica of Mount Lemmon, in Arizona. The trees at lower elevations have needles in groups of 5, whereas the pines at upper elevations have needles in groups of 3. In the middle elevations the needles are in groups of 3, 4 and 5, suggesting hybrization between the upper elevation trees and the lower elevation trees. The ponderosa of the upper elevations appear to be of older origin than the lower elevation trees. Mount Lemmon, Santa Catalina Mountains.
