Dinesh ji This is yet another example how we get stumped when author name is not indicated. There are two different species which have been given the name P. laricio and both have two leaves in a spur P. laricio Poir. (leaves up to 17 cm long, dark green, cones up to 8 cm long) is illegitimate name and now considered as synonym of P. nigra Arnold subsp. laricio Maire P. laricio Savi ( leaves 18-25 cm long, glossy green, cones 12-25 cm long) is now correctly known as P. pinaster subsp. escarena (Risso) K. Richt. Perhaps this may help in fixing the correct name.
