“What did he want?” I say.
“Nothing. I told him we were going to the park. He said we should go to the Arthur Ross Pinetum. Most of the trees in the Pinetum are coniferous.”
“Well, they would be, wouldn’t they? It’s a Pine-etum. Not a deciduetum.”

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arboretum
An arboretum is a collection of trees. Related collections include a fruticetum (from the Latin frutex, meaning shrub), and a viticetum, a collection of vines. More commonly today, an arboretum is a botanical garden containing living collections of primarily woody plants intended at least partly for scientific study. An arboretum specialising in growing conifers is known as a pinetum.

拉丁文的 pinus 指的是英文的 conifer,所有 conifer 属的树木在拉丁文里都叫 pinus,其中包括 pine, spruce, cypress, fir 等等,中文里常常松柏杉不分,英文里也同样混肴了松和杉,因此有人可能“望文生义”把 pinetum 翻译成“松树林”或“松树园”,其实根本不是那回事。
只要知道拉丁文的 pinetum 的英文说法是 conifer forest,也就是 an arboretum specialising in growing conifers (专门种植松柏杉木的树种植物园),就知道这种树林在森林学上叫做“针叶林”。

About "conifers":
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conifer
The conifers, division Pinophyta, also known as division Coniferae, are one of 13 or 14 division level taxa within the Kingdom Plantae. 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, redwoods, spruces, and yews. Species of conifers can be found growing naturally in almost all parts of the world, and are frequently dominant plants in their habitats, as in the taiga, for example. Conifers are of immense economic value, primarily for timber and paper production; the wood of conifers is known as softwood. The division contains approximately 700 living species.
