»J. c. 5 o.pcndula. {Jig. 2343) — We apply this name to a plant at Kevv, 

 which resembles that in the Horticultural Society's Garden, in 

 ever}' respect, except that the habit of the main branches is fasti- 

 giate ; and the points of the shoots pendulous. It forms a very 

 graceful plant, about o ft. high. 



*i J. c. 6 canadensis, J. canadensis Lodd, Cat., ed. 

 1836, (fig. 2347.) is a handsome vigorous-grow- 

 ing variety, coming near in foliage to J. c. nana ; 

 but, as we have only seen a small plant of it in 

 the collection of Messrs. Loddiges, we are 

 unable to depict the particular feature in which 

 it differs from the species. In Lav.'son's 

 Manual, a variety of this name is referred to 

 J. virginiana. 



tl. J. c. 8 deprt'ssa Pursh Fl. Amer. Sept., ii. 646., is a native of 

 North America, and does not grow above 1 ft. or 2 ft. high ; 

 though its root will sometimes cover a space of from 15 ft. to 

 'M ft, in diameter. It does not appear to have been introduced. 

 Possibly this maybe the J. canadensis ot Lod(l.Ca/.,No.6. above 



Olhe?- Varieties. In Loddiges's Catalogue, there arc 

 ./. cracovia and ./. hibernica, very small plants, but 

 obviously belonging to ./. communis. There can be no 

 doubt of this, though as in the case of ./. c. canadensis 

 in the same collection, we cannot point out in what 

 the difference consists. There are other names ciu-- 

 rent in the nurseries, in some of which they are applied to ./. commniniis, in 

 others to .7. ^Vabina, and in others to .7, virginiana. 



Descnption, Sfc. The common juniper, in its native habitats, is a low 

 bh,-ub, seldom rising more than 3 ft. high, and sending out many spreading 

 tough i)ranclics, which incline on every side, and are covered with a smooth 

 brown or reddish bark, with a tinge of purple. The bark of the young 

 branches is green ; but that of the trunk and old wood is of a greyish brown, 

 cracked and scaly. Leaves narrow, awl-shaped, ending in acute points, 

 |)laced by tlnees roinul the branches, [)ointing outwards; bright green on 

 one side, and grey on the other; contiiuiing throughout the year. The male
