| The needleleaf forest occupied the northeastern third of the state and included pine, spruce, and fir, with tamarack in the bog areas. |
| Just below the tree line, one may find subalpine forests of needleleaf trees, which can withstand cold, dry conditions. |
| A better division is into broadleaf trees or woods, and needleleaf conifers. |
| Apart from Spanish moss, epiphytic bromeliads include ball moss, Schultes northern needleleaf and southern needleleaf, and the rare spreading air plant. |
| The state's original vegetation may be divided into three general categories: needleleaf forest, hardwood forest, and tallgrass prairie. |
| In the temperate portions of the earth, those forests tend to be needleleaf trees, while in the tropics, they can be broadleaf trees growing in a rain forest. |
