Juniperus.] CXLIV. CONIFERZ. (J. D. Hooker.) 647 
Fruit black or blue shining, not glancous.—Brandis points out that this differs from 
the description of the Siberian plant in the fruit not being recurved. Bertoloni’s 
figure of J. indica is a very poor one, but I think it is of this species. I have seen 
no specimens of the Siberian and Soongarian plants. 
3. J. recurva, Ham. in Don Prodr. 55; a glaucous blue prostrate or 
erect bush or small tree with fastigiate branches, which are decurved 
and ascending with pendulous branchlets in large plants, leaves subulate 
imbricate appressed, back convex, fruit 4-} in. ovoid. Endl. Conif. 18;

TEMPERATE and ALPINE HIMALAYA, alt. 7500-15,000 ft.— DisrRIB. Aff- 
ghanistan. 
As a tree attains 30 ft., with a straight trunk, conical crown and pendulous 
branchlets ; at higher elevations it becomes stunted, and in alpine or exposed situations 
passes into 
VAR. squamata, Parlat. in DC. 1. c. 482; a decumbent or prostrate bush, leaves 
broader often incurved. J. squamata, Hum. in Lamb, Pin. Ed. i. ii. 17; Don 
Prodr. 55; Endl. Conif. 18. J. densa, Gord. Pinet. Suppl. 32. J. Lambertiana

4. J. macropoda, Boiss. Fl. Orient. v. 709; a small tree, branchlets 
subdistichous slender, leaves dimorphic, of the lower brauches subulate 
pungent, of the upper and branchlets scale-like imbricate closely appressed 
ovate acute with a dorsal large gland, male catkins on a scaly peduncle, 
fruit subglobose lin. diam. black glaucous 2—5-seeded, tips of the scales 
forming transverse crests. J. excelsa, Brand. For. Fl. 538, t. 68, and Wall. 
Cat. 6041 (not of Bieb.); Gamble Man. Ind. Timb. 412. J. gossainthaneana, 
Loddig. Cat. 1836, 48; Loud. Encycl. 1090. 
Inner drier ranges of the HIMALAYA, from Nepal westward, and WESTERN 
TIBET, alt. 9-14,0C0 ft.—DrsTRIB. Affghanistan, Beluchistan, Persia, Arabia. 
A tree, attaining 50 ft., with girth of trunk over 33 ft. ; branchlets like those 
Of Cupressus torulosa, trunk generally gnarled; foliage light green.—The above 
notes are from Brandis, Boissier distinguishes this from J. eacelsa by the scaly 
peduncles of the male catkins, and the crest-like tips of the scales of the fruit, and 
the fewer seeds, I doubt its proving distinct from J. excelsa, Bieb.
