Kct; but Lon^^ seems quite confident that it is J. bermndiana, 

 Not having seen tlie tree indigenous in Jamaica, I cannot attempt 

 to decide this question ; 1 have therefore omitted all reference 

 to Browne, Sloane, and Long. From Sloane's plate I should 

 rather take the Juniper of Jamaica to be identical with the J, 

 barbadensis, a tree by no means common at this time in the 

 island from which it takes its specific name.
