JUNIPEBUS 63 



— var. globosa ; another has golden foliage — forma aurea ; 

 and the third grey-green foliage — forma Cinerea. 



Forms 1 and 2 are unisexual, and have mixed juvenile 

 and adult foliage, but only a little of the former and at the 

 base of the bush; none on top. 



Form 3 is a male plant, and bears mixed foliage (adult 

 predominating) all over it. In all these cases the sharp- 

 pointed juvenile awl-shaped leaves are borne in whorls 

 of threes, the glaucous stomatic bands on the upper sides 

 being separated the whole way by a raised midrib, and the 

 adult scale-like leaves have very blunt tips. In the case 

 of /. Virginiana the juvenile leaves are in twos, not 

 threes : the stomatic band covers the whole upper surface 

 except the margins, and the adult leaves are humped with 

 rounded tips. 



J. Chinensis, var. Sargenti, Henry (Elwes and Henry, 

 vol. vi.). 



A seashore plant recently found by Sargent in Northern 

 Japan, forming prostrate mats 8 to 10 feet across. Branch- 

 lets tetragonal; covered with minute scale-like appressed 

 leaves furrowed on the back. No acicular leaves on adult 

 plants. Berries bluish with slight glaucous bloom. 

 Seeds, three. The above is Henry's description. I have 

 only seedling plants sent to me by Professor Sargent, and 

 at present they have only juvenile foliage — which it bears 

 usually in threes — small, about xV inch, pointing forward at 

 angle of about 30 degrees and slightly incurved. Outside 

 green, convex, slightly keeled. Inside concave, with sunken 

 very white band between two broad green margins, and 

 sometimes divided by a narrow green midrib for one -half 

 to two -thirds of its length. Leaves end in a round or abrupt 

 point, furnished with a short sharp cartilaginous point. 



J. Chinensis, var. albo-variegata. 



Syn. : J. Fortuni, Hort (not Van Houtte).
