Recent taxonomic studies and discussion lead us to overlook the taxonomic positions of the native Pinus L. taxa for Turkey. Based on the latest publications (especially Frankis, 2000; Farjon, 2005, 2010; Zsolt and István, 2010), herbarium and field works, some taxonomic positions and varieties of pine species described before were re-analyzed, and for some of them taxonomic positions were changed. Taxonomic position of Anatolian black pine was accepted as subspecies (Pinus nigra Arnold subsp. pallasiana (Lamb.) Holmboe) with its five varieties. Five varieties for Pinus brutia Ten and three varieties for Pinus sylvestris L. were re-considered. In addition, a stat. nov was made for one taxon of Pinus sylvestris L. (Pinus sylvestris L. var. compacta (Tosun) Ü. Akkemik stat. nov).
