I did not meet with this Juniper in my travels in the Orient, but have 

 before me two specimens collected in Saghalien by Pere Faurie. These have 

 straight or slightly curved, spreading leaves and differ in no particular from material 

 of typical J. communis from North America or Europe. Very little is known con- 

 cerning the distribution of this plant in eastern Asia where apparently it is not 

 common. It is known from Kitami province, Hokkaido, but is unknown in the 

 other islands of Japan and in China. From Korea I have a specimen collected 

 at the foot of Paiktu-san by Dr. T. Nakai in August 1914 and in this Arboretum 

 there are growing shapely plants from 1 to 1.2 m. high raised from seeds sent 

 from that country by T. Uciyama in 1900. A variety of this species is

The only specimen of this Juniper from the Japanese Empire that I have seen is 

 Faurie's No. 284, collected at Korsakof, Saghalien, in June 1908. This bears male 

 flowers and the leaves are scarcely as broad as is usual in this variety, but agree 

 exactly with those on specimens in this herbarium from Newfoundland.
