78 DWAEF AND SLOW-GBOWING CONIFERS 



J. Virginiana, var. nana nivea, Beiss. (i. 126). 

 A compact dwarf form with whitish foliage. 



J. Virginiana, var. globosa, Beiss. (" Mitt. d. d. d. Ges.," 

 134, 1904). 



Beissner describes this as a compact round-topped bush 

 rather taller than broad, with crowded branches. 



There is no reason to doubt the existence of a globose 

 form among the ever-varying seedhng forms of this 

 inconstant juniper, but any forms grown under this name 

 that I have met have been a form of J. Chinensis (q.v.). I 

 have recently received an undoubted form of J. Virginiana 

 said to be var. glohosa, but the plant is too small to 

 enable one to determine its habit. 



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



A low-growing form with crowded, spreading, and 

 somewhat arching branches; short branchlets and blue- 

 green leaves. There is a golden fohaged variety of this 

 form. 



J. Virginiana, var. Schotti, Beiss. (ii. 595). 



A pyramidal bushy dwarf form with pointed scale- 

 like foliage of very pale glaucous green. 



J. Virginiana, var. reptans, Beiss. (ii. 596, ex "Mitt, 

 d. d. d. Ges.," 1896, 55). 



A prostrate form in the Botanic Gardens at Jena with 

 branches spreading over the ground. 



Professor Sargent ("A. A. Bullet.," No. 18, 72) records 

 a prostrate form in the Arnold Arboretum found growing 

 wild on the seacoast cliffs of Maine. Plants of this form 

 18 inches high have prostrate stems which spread into 

 dense mats 15 feet across. 



J. Virginiana, var. humilis, Loddiges (Cat., 1836); Carr. 

 (" Conif .," ii. 46). 



A very dwarf bushy shrub. Rather delicate branches. 

 Branchlets and sprays very slender.
