the junipers. 121 



Doubtful Kinds, or those of which little is known. 



No. 33. JuNiPERUS c^siA, Carriere. 



This kind is said to belong to the Savin tribe, and to have 

 been found in the North of Europe, where it is said to be an 

 erect bush, with numerous ascending branches and branchlets, 

 covered with opposite leaves, smooth, glossy, and rounded on 

 the under side, and glaucous blue above ; more or less needle- 

 shaped, or lanceolate and spreading. 



No. 34. JuNiPEKUs Olivierii, Carriere. 



Leaves, scale-formed, in opposite pairs, closely imbricated, 

 thickened at the points, and obtuse. Branchlets, numerous, 

 small, and covered with scale-like leaves. Berries, solitary, 

 placed upon the short curved branchlets, quite round, smooth, 

 with hardly any signs of the little tubercles remaining when 

 fully grown, and of a reddish violet colour, abundantly covered 

 outside with a glaucous bloom. 



It is said to be found on the Caramanian Mountains, and 

 other parts of Asia Minor, probably Juniperus excelsa. 



No. 35. Juniperus Californica, Carriere. 

 Syn. Juniperus pyriformis, Hort. 



Leaves, on the adult plants, scale-formed, very short, closely 

 placed along the branchlets, and regularly imbricated ; but very 

 open, spreading, and glaucous on the young ones. Berries, 

 solitary, obtusely egg-shaped, or elongated, and tapering to 

 both extremities, but most towards the apex ; rather more than 

 half an inch long, smooth, or slightly tuberculated externally, 

 thickly covered with a glaucous powder, and on very short 

 footstalks. 



A tree, with an umbrella-shaped head, growing forty feet 

 high, and three feet in diameter, found abundantly on the Cali- 

 fornian and Oregon mountains, at elevations of from 1,000 to 

 6,000 feet, probably not different from J. Occidentalis.
