{{see also|No-sevens subgroup temperaments #Superpine}}
The superpine temperament is generated by 1/3 of a fourth, represented by [[~]][[35/32]], which resembles [[porcupine]], but it favors flat fifths instead of sharp ones. Unlike in porcupine, the minor third reached by 2 generators up is strongly neutral-flavored and does not represent [[6/5]]–harmonics other than 3 all require the 15-tone mos to properly utilize. This temperament has an obvious 11-limit interpretation by treating the generator as [[11/10]] as in porcupine, which makes [[11/8]] high-[[complexity]] like the other harmonics, but in the 13-limit 5 generators up closely approximates [[13/8]]. [[43edo]] is a good tuning especially for the higher-limit extensions.
