Etiquette for ID of species with no visual differences

Talking about pines I even have no idea which traits would be ok to say it’s not an introdused species. P. sylvestris alone is so diverse that it would make a person spent half of the day thinking about each tree they met. And when I saw P. nigra for me it was the same pines as always, I just knew that there’s the species that exists here or that’s the place with saved population of subsp.
