The Caribbean pine, ''Pinus caribaea'', is a hard pine, native to Central America, Cuba, the Bahamas, and the Turks and Caicos Islands. It belongs to ''Australes'' Subsection in ''Pinus'' Subgenus. It inhabits tropical and subtropical coniferous forests, which include both lowland savannas and montane forests. Wildfire plays a major role limiting the range of this species, but it has been reported that this tree regenerates quickly and aggressively, replacing latifoliate trees. In zones not subject to periodic fires, the succession continues and a tropical forest thrives. It has been widely cultivated outside its natural range, and introduced populations can be found nowadays in Jamaica, Colombia, South Africa, Fiji or China. ==Varieties== The species has three distinct varieties, one very distinct and treated as a separate species by some authors: *''Pinus caribaea'' var. ''caribaea'' (Pinar del Río Province and Isla de la Juventud in western Cuba) *''Pinus caribaea'' var. ''bahamensis'' (Grisebach) W.H.Barrett & Golfari – Bahamas pine (The Bahamas, Turks and Caicos Islands) *''Pinus caribaea'' var. ''hondurensis'' (Sénéclauze) W.H.Barrett & Golfari – Honduras pine (state of Quintana Roo in Mexico, Belize, Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua, Fiji)
