JUNIPEBUS 61 



whorls of threes, and the white band on the inside of leaves 

 is usually divided by a green midrib. Its adult scale-like 

 foliage is nearer to that of J. Sabina, but its points are 

 rather blunt than rounded, and the leaves are closely 

 appressed, not humped. 



J. Chinensis, Linnaeus. 



Is a species with complications: in addition to having 

 several other species very nearly related to it, it has 

 unisexual, masculine and feminine forms, also forms which 

 bear both juvenile and adult foliage, and others in which 

 either juvenile or adult predominate to the practical 

 exclusion of the other. It is, therefore, not surprising 

 that there has been much confusion in naming and sorting 

 some of its varieties. 



J. Chinensis, var. pendula and var. pendula aurea, Beiss. 



(ii. 605), and var. pendula monstrosa. 

 Are pendulous forms recorded by Beissner which I have 

 not found in cultivation. 



J. Chinensis aurea, Young {Gard. Chron. [1872], 8 and 1193). 

 Syn. : J. Chinensis Youngi, 

 This in time grows too large, but being of slow growth it 

 should be retained as long as possible on account of its 

 wonderful colour, the whole of the young growth being 

 a brilliant golden-yellow. It makes a dense shrub and 

 should be grown in full sun. This is a male form and 

 was raised at Young's Nursery, Milford, Surrey. It bears 

 both juvenile and adult foliage. 



J. Chinensis, var. Pfitzeriana, Spath (" In der Gartenwelt," 

 1901, 403). 



According to Beissner (ii. 605) the present plant in 

 Spath's Nursery has made a pyramid 4 metres high by 

 as much through. It is a rather broad, slow-growing 

 pyramid; branches ascending, branchlets spreading, 

 foliage fine. Light grey -green.
