204 THE CULTIVATED EVERGREENS 



J. Plate XIII. Forming a broad pyramid with horizontally spreading branches 

 and nodding branchlets, grayish-green. Var. fcEmina, Gord. (J. Reevesiana, 

 Knight). Reeves J. A form with slender spreading branches and scale-like 

 foliage, bearing female flowers and fruit. 



Dwarf globose forms: Var. globosa, Horn. (J. virginalis globosa, Hort.). 

 A dwart and dense subglobose form with short, crowded, thickish branchlets 

 clothed with bright green scale-like leaves; with only few small branclilets 

 with acicular leaves on the lower part of the branches. Recently introduced 

 from Japan, like the following. Var. aureo-globosa, Relid. (J. virginalis 

 globosa "golden," Hort.), is a form of similar habit, but with the yoimger 

 branchlets more or less golden-yellow. 



Var. japonica, Vilm. {J. japonica, Hort. J. chinensis var. procumbens, 

 Hort., not Endl.). Japanese J. Low shrub with spreading, sometimes pro- 

 cumbent branches and usually acicular leaves in 3's. Introduced in 1862 from 

 Japan into this country. Variegated forms are "japonica aurea," Mast. 

 (J. japonica aurea, Carr.) . Golden Japanese J. The foliage tinged with golden- 

 yellow, and var. "japonica axireo-variegata," Mast. (J. japonica aureo-varic- 

 gata). Variegated Japanese J., with part of the foliage golden-yellow. 



Var. Sargentii, Henry. Sargent J. Plate XIV. A prostrate shrub with 

 long creeping stem and ascending branclilets forming dense mats: adult plants 

 with the leaves mostly scale-like and bluish-green, acicular and grass-green on 

 young plants : fruit bluish, slightly bloomy. Japan, Saghalin, and Kurile Islands. 

 ^Introduced in 1892 by C. S. Sargent to America. A handsome form valuable 

 as a ground-cover. This and the preceding variety have been confused often 

 with J. prociimbens, Endl., but that species has the leaves always acicular and 

 in 3's and marked on the back with 2 conspicuous white spots near the base 

 from which glaucous bands extend down the edges of the pulvini. 



The plant now in cidtivation as J. sphaerica, Lindl., does not differ from 

 J. chinensis. 



16. J. bermudiana, L. (J. barbadensis, L.). Bermuda J. Tree to 40 feet 

 tall, in habit much like J. virginiana, but branches much stouter and foliage 

 pale bluish-green; branchlets thickly set, quadrangular, stout and short: 

 leaves mostly imbricate, thick or acicular, spiny-pointed, rigid, erect-spread- 

 ing: stamina te catkins larger: fruit usually 2-seeded and depressed -globular. 

 Bermuda, Barbadoes, Antigua.^Introduced to England before 1684. Hardy 

 only in the Southern States, but probably not in cultivation in this country.
