'''''Pinus remota''''', commonly known as the '''Texas pinyon''' or '''papershell pinyon''', is a [[pine]] in the [[pinyon pine]] group, native to southwestern [[Texas]] and northeastern [[Mexico]].  It can be distinguished from other pinyon species by its thin-walled seeds, which made it especially attractive as a food to [[Indigenous peoples of the Americas|Indians]] and [[Mexicans]] living where it grew.  Spanish explorer [[Cabeza de Vaca]] noted that the papershell pinon was an important food for the [[Indigenous peoples of the Americas|Indians]] in 1536.
