The Chir Pine, Pinus roxburghii, named after William Roxburgh, is a pine native to the Himalaya. The range extends from northern Pakistan (Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Azad Jammu and Kashmir) and Indian-administered Kashmir, across northern Republic of India (Punjab, Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Sikkim) and Nepal, Bhutan and Southern Tibet. It generally occurs at lower altitudes than other pines in the Himalaya, from 500-2000 m, occasionally up to 2,300 metres (7,500 ft). The other Himalayan pines are Blue Pine, Bhutan White Pine, Chinese White Pine, Chilgoza Pine and Sikang Pine.
