We publish our audit record because accuracy claims should be checkable. Every entry on this site runs through an automated fact-audit pipeline (accuracy audit → source-grounded repair → visual QA); this page is generated from that pipeline's own report, not written by hand.

Pinales — Benson (1957) divided gymnosperms into three classes, not four; Ginkgo was placed within Coniferopsida, not as a separate class.
Pinales — The claim that the name Pinales and Coniferales were used interchangeably 'until at least 2011' is inaccurate; Coniferales fell out of common use by the mid-20th century.
Pinus elliottii — The entry states 'lifespan=Up to 200 years', but slash pine typically lives 100–150 years, with 200 years being an extreme outlier not representative of its typical lifespan.
Pinus elliottii — The entry states 'Its wood has a compressive strength (parallel to grain) typically in the range of 7,000–7,500 lb/in²', but published data lists the compressive strength of slash pine as around 6,700–7,000 lb/in² for green wood and about 8,000–8,500 lb/in² fo
Pinus halepensis — The entry incorrectly attributes the binomial name Pinus halepensis to Philip Miller in 1768; the name was first validly published by John Sibthorp in 1794.
Pinus halepensis — The entry describes the upper bark as 'thin and flaky,' but it is actually smooth and silvery-gray, not flaky.
Pinus lambertiana — The second tallest sugar pine, 'Yosemite Giant', died from a bark beetle attack in 2007.
