Pinus pseudostrobus, known in English as the smooth-bark Mexican pine and in Spanish as chamite or pacingo, is a tree found in forests of Mexico and Central America.^[1]^[2]^[6] ^{[citation needed]} It is 8 to 25 m tall with a dense and round top.^{[citation needed]}It is threatened by logging and wood harvesting.^[1] The bark is brown and fissured and smooth when young. ^{[citation needed]} It is subject to ex-situ conservation.^[1] It grows at altitudes between 850 and 3250 m. from 26° to 15° north latitude, from Sinaloa, Mexico to Nicaragua and Honduras. It occurs within a rainfall regime that rains mostly in summer. ^{[citation needed]}

A stand of about 15 fully mature smooth-bark Mexican pines is in Imperial County, California, at the Palo Verde County Park, in a narrow strip of land between Hwy 78 and the Colorado River. ^{[citation needed]}

English botanist John Lindley described the species in 1839. It is divided into Pinus pseudostrobus var.apulcensis (Lindl.)Shaw (Apulco pine), Pinus pseudostrobus f.protuberans Martínez and Pinus pseudostrobus var.pseudostrobus.^[2]^[6]

It has been introduced in New Zealand near sea level and has done well.^{[citation needed]}
