J. macroc a (large-fruited). A shrub of more open and 
spreading habit than the common Juniper; it has also longer 
leaves, and, as its name implies, bears larger berries. It is 
rarely other than an inelegant bush in British gardens. k. 10ft. 
to 12ft. Mediterranean region. 
J. nana (dwarf). A synonym of J. communis nana. 
J. neoboriensis (Naumberg). J. short, rigid, very glaucous. A 
very distinct species, with a pyramidal or fastigiate habit, and 
short branches; probably of garden origin. According to 
Messrs. Veitch, the Juniper cultivated in British gardens under 
this name is evidently a variety of J. communis.

A large, bushy, much-branched shrub, with slender pendulous 
branches. This species may be distinguished from the common 
Juniper by its somewhat broader and shorter leaves, with more 
prominent white bands on the under side. In Great Britain, 
owing to climacteric causes, it attains but small proportions, has 
an inelegant habit, and is quite destitute of any ornamental 
qualities, SYN. J. rufescens.
