Abstract: Seeds and photographs of two pine trees on Guadalupe Island, and a herbarium specimen of one of them, reached New Zealand in April 1958. In some of its morphological characters the herbarium specimen resembled Pinus remorata, but in others it seemed identical with P. radiata. It was concluded, with some reservation, that both trees should be referred to P. radiata var. binata. There was evidence that both a scale insect and a rust fungus were present as parasites on the foliage.
