<p></p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>Growing now in only high and inaccessible areas, such as the [[Ramtops]], &#039;&#039;&#039;Counting pines&#039;&#039;&#039; are one of the few known examples of &#039;borrowed evolution&#039;. A counting pine seed coming to rest anywhere on the Disc picks up the most effective genetic code, and grows into whatever best suits the climate, usually usurping the local plants.<br /> <br /> The other notable feature of this remarkable plant is that it produces, at eye-height, numbers detailing its precise age. Its chain of reasoning is as follows; being dimly aware that humans can tell a tree&#039;s age by counting its rings, it has reasoned &#039;&#039;this must be why humans cut trees down&#039;&#039;.<br /> <br /> Unfortunately, within a year they were driven almost to extinction by the house number-plate industry.<br /> <br /> ==Appearances==<br /> <br /> This plant has appeared in &#039;&#039;[[Book:Reaper Man|Reaper Man]]&#039;&#039;.<br /> [[de:Z&amp;auml;hlende Kiefern]]<br /> [[Category:Discworld Flora &amp; Fauna]]</div>
