3. Juniperus megalocarpa Sudworth, For. & Irr. 13: 307. 1907. 
Sabina megalocarpa Cockerell, Muhlenbergia 3: 143. 1908. 
Tyre Locality: ‘‘Midway between Alma and Frisco, about 3 miles above the 
‘Widow Kelley’s’ ranch on the San Francisco River,’’ New Mexico. 
RanGeE: Known only from type locality. 
A tree 9 to 15 meters high, the trunk 60 to 120 cm. in diameter; leaves in 3’s, 
yellowish green. 
This tree seems to have been first discovered in this same locality by Mr. Vernon 
Bailey of the Biological Survey, U. 8. Department of Agriculture, who made some 
excellent photographs of it which we have seen. 
4. Juniperus scopulorum Sarg. Gard. & For. 10: 420. 1897. 
Rocky MoOuNTAIN JUNIPER. 
Sabina scopulorum Rydb. Bull. Torrey Club 32: 598. 1905. 
Type Locality: Not definitely stated. 
RanGE: British Columbia and Alberta to Arizona and western Texas. 
New Mexico: Coolidge; Rivera; Santa Fe; Pecos; Cebolla; Las Vegas; Stinking 
Lake; Mogollon Mountains; White Mountains. Open hills, in the Upper Sonoran 
Zone, often extending into the lower part of the Transition. 
A beautiful though small tree, with dark green foliage and slender branches droop- 
ing at the ends. The fruit is small, blue, and succulent. The Rocky Mountain 
juniper occurs only in the higher mountains, associated sometimes with the common 
cedar (Juniperus monosperma), more often with pines. When growing alone it takes 
on a fine conical form with branches quite to the ground, rendering it an ideal tree 
for lawns.

Tyre Locauity: ‘“‘Southern parts of Utah and into Arizona and Nevada.”’ 
Rance: Wyoming to New Mexico, west to southeastern California. 
New Mexico: Tunitcha Mountains; Aztec; Carrizo Mountains; Frisco; Dona Ana 
Mountains. Open hills, in the Upper Sonoran Zone. 
A stiff, upright, much branched tree, coming into New Mexico from the northwest. 
It differs from the next chiefly in the larger size and different color of its fruit. It 
is probably much more common than the citations would indicate. 
6. Juniperus monosperma (Engelm.) Sarg. Silv. N. Amer. 10: 89. 1889. 
ONE-SEEDED JUNIPER. 
Juniperus occidentalis monosperma Engelm. Trans. Acad. St. Louis 3: 590. 1877. 
Sabina monosperma Rydb. Bull. Torrey Club 32: 598. 1905. 
Type Locauity: ‘‘From Pikes Peak region of Colorado through west Texas and 
New Mexico to Arizona and California.”’ 
RanGE: Colorado to Nevada, south into Mexico. 
New Mexico: Common on foothills and high plains throughout the State. Upper 
Sonoran Zone. 
This is the common juniper of the State. It is a low, much branched, frequently 
very scraggy tree, 4 to 8 meters high. Under favorable conditions it assumes an 
‘almost perfectly conical shape. The bark is gray and shreddy or stringy, the leaves 
of a rather yellowish green, and the fruit small and succulent. The wood does not 
decay readily and is much used for fence posts. It will no doubt prove of value as a 
decorative tree for lawns at elevations of from 1,800 to 2,250 meters, 
We are unable to separate from this Juniperus pinchoti Sudworth.1 Some of the 
material from the eastern side of the State should belong to that species. So far as 
1 For. & Irr. 13: 307. 1907. The type came from Paloduro Canyon in the Pan- 
handle of Texas.
