Colombian pine collection

Retrophyllum rospigliosii (Pilg.) C.N.Page View in CoL , commonly known as pino romerón, is primarily distributed in the Andean Cordilleras and grows at altitudes between 1200 and 3750 meters ( Escobar et al. 2023). It is classified as Near Threatened due to its extensive use in cabinetry and carpentry ( Vásquez & Alcántara 2009). Additionally, it is used ornamentally in urban and rural areas and for soil conservation, including erosion control, water body protection, shade for agricultural crops, and shrub species ( Mahecha Vega et al. 2010). Given its ecological and cultural importance, this collection covers an area of 347 m ², representing this species ( Fig. 1Z View FIG ).
