List of coniferous plants of Montana
Rocky Mountain Juniper

There are at least 20 species of Gymnosperms or Coniferous plants in Montana. [1]

The conifers, division Pinophyta, also known as division Coniferophyta or Coniferae, are one of 13 or 14 division level taxa within the Kingdom Plantae. Pinophytes are gymnosperms. They are cone-bearing seed plants with vascular tissue; all extant conifers are woody plants, the great majority being trees with just a few being shrubs. Typical examples of conifers include cedars, Douglas-firs, cypresses, firs, junipers, kauris, larches, pines, hemlocks, redwoods, spruces, and yews.[2] The division contains approximately eight families, 68 genera, and 630 living species.[3][4]

The Ponderosa Pine, a conifer, is the Montana State Tree. [5]
