92 JUNIPKllUS ; OR 



No. 1. JuNiPERUS Canadensis, Loddiyes, the Canadian 



Juniper. 



Syn. J. communis depressa, Pursh. 



„ „ nana montana, Endlicher. 



„ „ depressa. Booth. 



Leaves, lanceolate, narrow, three in a whorl, incurved, spread- 

 ing, tapering regularly from the base to the point, very sharp- 

 pointed and stiff"; pale green below, and channelled with a white 

 band on the upper surface. Branches, rather slender, spread- 

 ing and elevated ; lateral ones rather short, and not very thickly 

 clothed with its very pungent leaves. Berries, ovate-globular, 

 smooth, shining, and nearly black when ripe. 



This species grows from three to five feet high, with an 

 elevated spreading head, rather open in appearance. It is 

 found growing in the Northern parts of North America, in 

 Labrador, Newfoundland, Hudson's Bay, the rocky districts of 

 Newbury and Main, in Greenland, and on the Island of Sitcha. 



It is frequently confounded with the dwarf Juniper of Europe 

 (J. nana), but it is easily distinguished from it, by its much 

 narrower, sharper-pointed, and paler foliage, and in its more 

 elevated branches, growing from three to five feet high, while 

 those of the dwarf juniper lay flat, or creep along the ground. 



No. 2. JuNiPERUS Cedro, Webb, the Canary Island Juniper. 

 Syn. Juniperus Cedrus, Carriere. 



Leaves, in whorls of three, straight, rigid, spreading and 

 blunt-pointed, ending in a short prickle, very numerous and 

 close, especially upon the branchlets ; the lower ones ovate- 

 lanceolate, the upper ones linear and sharp-pointed, slightly 

 keeled, mostly straight, seldom concave, and frequently very 

 glaucous on the upper side. Branches, horizontal, bent down- 

 wards at the points ; branchlets, numerous, short, angular, 

 thickly clothed with leaves, and of a glaucous green colour. 

 Berries, large, globular, nearly smooth, of a reddish-brown 

 colour, covered all over with glaucous bloom, and with a few 

 tubercles slightly jutting out all round.
