JUNIPEBUS 77 



J. squamata, var. prostrata. 



Old branches red-brown, young branchlets green. 

 Branchlets point directly forward and do not curve or 

 droop. 



Leaves in whorls of threes, all acicular, more spreading, 

 not so incurved, narrower, slightly keeled below. Above, 

 glaucous band much narrower, and green leaf margins 

 correspondingly broader. Colour of glaucous bands not 

 a dull white but a brilliant blue- white. 



This is a male plant and makes a prostrate mat of 

 horizontally spreading branches. The spreading habit of 

 the leaves enables their glaucous side to appear to advan- 

 tage. A most attractive form, which I got from Wilson's 

 collected J. squamata seed. 



J. Virginiana. — The so-called red cedar of the Eastern 

 and Central States of America varies considerably from 

 seed, so it is not surprising that nurserymen have put in 

 commerce numerous " named " forms, many of which are 

 hardly distinct enough to be enumerated. 



J. Virginiana, var. dumosa, Carr. (" Conif .," i. 45). 



A thick bushy roundish pyramid, with short erect 

 branchlets. Leaves crowded, mostly needle- like 4 to 

 10 mm. long, opposite, decussate, or in threes. Scale- 

 like foliage is rare, oval, pointed, very rarely obtuse. 



J. Virginiana, var. Cannarti, Beiss. (ii. 125). 



Syn. : var. Canaertii Seneclauze (" Conif.," 99, 1868). 

 A compact form, forming a broad crown of dark green 

 foliage. 



J. Virginiana, var. Kosteriana, Beiss. (i. 126). 



A wide-open spreading bush with 2 to 3 feet arching 

 branches, of wonderful glaucous plum-coloured foliage. 



J. Virginiana, var. interrupta, Beiss. (i. 125). 



A low-growing dense pyramid with very fine, almost 

 needle-like foliage.
