A yellow pine is one of various species of pine tree, or a specific New Zealand-based species, Latin name Halocarpus biformis.
Southern Yellow Pine (often abbreviated SYP) doesn't refer to any one species of tree, but rather a group of species which are classified as yellow pine (as opposed to white pine), and are native to the American South. There are several varieties, such as longleaf pine, shortleaf pine, loblolly pine, and slash pine.See link below.
White Pine, Yellow Pine, Douglas Fir, Red Cedar, Yellow Cedar.
The Bull Pine otherwise known as the Western Yellow Pine or Ponderosa Pine has the latin name Pinus ponderosa.This is neither an improvement nor a criticism but I have never heard of a Bull Pine or a Ponderosa Pine tho you are spot on with Western Yellow Pine. I think this is where local common names can confuse and shows the value of using the Latin name.
The Latin name for the lodgepole pine is Pinus latifolia.
