TAXONOMY : 
The currently accepted scientific name for the Australian pine genus
is Casuarina, a member of the family Casuarinaceae [12].  Three species
of Australian pine are common in the United States.  All will be treated
in this report because of their similar status as invader species and
across-the-board management plans to eradicate the genus from the
continent.  These species are [6]:
