Editing Pinus remota (section)

==Distribution and habitat==
The range is in western [[Texas]], United States, on the south edge of the [[Edwards Plateau]] and the hills between [[Fort Stockton, Texas|Fort Stockton]] and [[Presidio, Texas|Presidio]], and in northeastern [[Mexico]], mainly in [[Coahuila]] but also just into [[Chihuahua (state)|Chihuahua]] and [[Nuevo León]]. It occurs at low to moderate altitudes, from 450–700 m on the Edwards Plateau and from 1200–1800 m in the rest of its range. It is scarce, with small, scattered populations usually on dry, rocky sites and [[Arroyo (watercourse)|arroyos]] where bare rock lowers the likelihood of [[wildfire]] spreading easily.
