Gymnospermae:
Gymnosperms: Juniperus, Pinus, Picea & Larix species
Note: only the Juniper is indigenous to Iceland.
Other gymnosperms have been introduced for forest plantations. I have only included the 3 most commonly introduced species. There are many more introduced gymnosperm species for forestation projects though.... (this is beyond the scope of this site)
