Pinus pinaster, Maritime pine, PINO NEGRAL
This stamp was issued by Spain in 1972 in a 5 stamp series.
Since we are surrounded by Pine trees you would think I would have put a name to them by now. But no, I am entirely ignorant of the proper name of the trees in the backyard, down the center of one of the main streets of Corinth and in the forest on the way to Epidaurus
These photos were taken on the way to an archaeological site next to the Temple of Olympian Zeus, in Athens. This area is the site of Roman baths and is very little visited
I found an article set in Spain which mentions Maritime pines (Pinus pinaster)
