CEDAR PINE (PINUS PUMILA) TREE FORMS IN THE NORTH OF TRANSBAIKALIAN EDGE
The article describes the ecological-morphological features of the cedar tree form, growing in the North of the Zabaikalye territory in the basin of R. Chara (left tributary R. Lena). For comparison shows the descriptions of the mountain pine, which grows together with the tree and the Siberian cedar growing in 200 km to the North of a place of study cedar. Analysis of morphological features three representatives of the genus Pinus gives grounds to assert that cedar pine tree form is a hybrid of Siberian pine and cedar, which is expedient to give the species name and wider use as a nut breed.
