Pinus krempfii, or Krempf's pine, is a rare species of pine, endemic to the central highlands of Vietnam in the Da LatNha Trang area. It is unusual in that it has flat needles. Because of this anomaly, it is put in its own subsection, the Krempfianae. In adult trees these needles are up to {{cvt|4|mm}} wide, "but much larger on juveniles". The tree is a rainforest emergent to {{cvt|55|m}} in height and up to {{cvt|2|m}} DBH.{{cite book | last1= Sterling | first1= Eleanor Jane |last2= Hurley | first2= Marta Maud | last3= Minh | first3= Le Duc | date= 2006 | title= Vietnam: A Natural History | location= New Haven, Connecticut | publisher= Yale Univ.
