Talk:Table mountain pine

Page contents not supported in other languages.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

So it has nothing to do with Table Mountain which does have extensive (introduced) pines on its flanks? Is there a Table Mountain in the Appalachian Mountains that its named after?

No, it doesn't; the pines on South Africa's Table Mountain are introduced Monterey Pine, Aleppo Pine, Stone Pine, and Maritime Pine (Richardson & Higgins 1998, Pines as invaders in the southern hemisphere, pp. 450-473 in Richardson (ed.) Ecology and Biogeography of Pinus, Cambridge U.P.).
In the case of Pinus pungens, "table mountain" is a general landform term for any flat-topped mountain, not a particular named mountain. - MPF 10:43, 31 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not sure that this is correct. USDA Plants has it as "Table Mountain pine", which capitalization suggests it is named after a particular Table Mountain (not necessarily the one in South Africa)Plantdrew (talk) 00:32, 12 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Edit to improve sort order in Category Pinus

[edit]

I edited this to change the sort order on the page for the Category:Pinus. It had been set to alphabetize under Pine. That might make sense for categories where there are a lot of trees and a few of them are pines; then all the pines group together. But on the page where everything is a pine, it made more sense to alphabetize under Table Mountain. 71.126.140.136 (talk) 11:25, 14 April 2010 (UTC)Stephen Kosciesza[reply]

Page title

[edit]

In line with Wikipedia:Naming_conventions_(flora)#Scientific_versus_common_names I'd like to move this page to Pinus pungens. Sminthopsis84 (talk) 15:20, 18 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

This seems like a good candidate. Pinus pungens comes out narrowly ahead in a general Google test, so it looks like there's a good case under WP:COMMONNAME for a move (to say nothing of WP:PLANTS). Plantdrew (talk) 00:32, 12 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Minor Edit

[edit]

I added information regarding the ecology of P. pungens with information from a scientific journal about the characteristics, history, and future succession of P. pungens. Katelyncothren (talk) 18:22, 4 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
