The present research included numerical taxonomy for (6) species belonging to the genus Pinus L. (Pinaceae) which are growing in north of Iraq in (11) Sites which were distributed in Ninavah, Dohuk and Erbil Provinces, five of them were cultivated ( Pinus halepensis Mill., P. eldarica Medw., P. pinea L., P. canariensis Sm. and P. radiata Son.) and one species grow naturally ( P. brutia Ten.). By using morphological, and chemical features. The enhanced numerical comparison (numerical taxonomy) for phenotypic traits and the chemical health systematic of the species and separation Pinus brutia from P. halepensis and the rest of the species separation from each other. The results showed that the highest similarity range among the species was 75.47% between P. brutia and P. eldarica . while the species P. halepensis of the end of Dendrogram by similarity range with P. brutia at 26.41% . and this result was similar with polygonal
