526. JUNIPERUS SABINA, L. (Savin.) 



a. Tops. 



6. Volatile oil. (Oil of Savin.) 



Note. Savin differs from juniper in having leaves only half as long 

 and more spreading than in that plant, and in its different odour. It 

 may be distinguished by its tufted branchlets from the common species 

 of Thuja, which have fan-like, flattened branches. See Pharmacographia, 

 p. 567. See Bentley and Trimen, Med. Plants, tab. 254. 



527. JUNIPERUS VIRGINIANA, L. (Bed Cedar, or American Savine.) 



a. Wood. Presented by Mr. D. Hanbury. 

 Note. This plant closely resembles savine in appearance and odour, 

 but yields less volatile oil. It appears to differ from savine only in its 

 larger size and more diffuse habit. Pharmacographia, p. 568. The wood 

 is the kind of cedar commonly used for lead pencils. It has the advan- 

 tage over common cedar of not being attacked by insects. 



528. JUNIPERUS OXTCEDRUS, L. 



a. Empyreumatic oil. (Huile de Cade, Juniper Tar Oil.) 



b. Ditto, from Germany. Dr. M. Weidenbach, 965, 



Cologne Street, Aix-la-Chapelle. 



Note. This oil was formerly made from J. Oxycedrus, L. ; but its 

 present source is not known. Pharmacographia, p. 563. It is used in 

 skin diseases, either alone or combined with soap. 



529. PINUS PINEA, Lamb. (Stone Pine.) 



a. Cones. (Pignoli Pines.)

 from old incisions in the tree, and hardens on the trunk. It is chiefly 

 collected in winter. Galipot fondu is the same melted to free it from 

 impurities. See Hist, des Drog., vol. ii., p. 263.
