RE: Pine Forest - Home to several species of plants and small animals

in Nature Lovers8 days ago

Hey! @nasseir great place you show us there. I liked the pics too, specially the fungi ones, just a small detail I wanted to share, those you call pine cones are not cones and doesn´t come from pines, Those are actually angiosperm fruit called polyachene and usually comes from a plant called Casuarina equisetifolia an angiosperm tree from Australia that is ofthen mistaken by a pine tree cuz of its extremelly reduced leaves and very thin branches that looks like pine needles.

Thank you my friend. Glad to see you stopping by my post.

You are right about that, actually the tree just looks like a pine. Basically we call it "CEMARA", in our area, but the translation is pine :+). That is true and we can see the tree that I show at the very top.
