4 : THE BERMUDA JUNIPER AND ITS ALLIES. 
above referred to, resembles J. bermudiana in its four-cornered 
branchlets, but no fruit is shown, and its identification is doubtful. 
Plukenet ates bei to Hermann’s J. bermudiana above mentioned— 
to ‘‘ Juniperus e Terra Mariana’ and to ‘‘ J, Caroliniana Thuye 
ramulis fusis.’ ‘i "Phyrog. tab. 40, f.9. All these are probably rosa 
to J. virginia 
n the Mian (1700), p. 109, Plukenet has ‘ Juniperus 
Barbadensis, Cupressi folio Arbor preecelsa, tetragonophyllos, sive 
foliatura quadrangulari,’’ and he then, with extraordinary disregard 
to e and locality, asks the estar ‘‘An Juniperus arbor 
aeoearn Bibliorum ?”; possibly, however, not referring specially 
to the American species. In the Amalthewn Botanicum (1705), p. 125, 
he has ‘‘ Juniperus Barbadensis Cupressi folio, ramulis quadratis ; 
Aina, Bot. 201." To this the following localities ee assigned : 
“ yesnum Congianum, ™ Ind. Or; Terceira , Andes of New Spain. 
" provenit etiam in Virginia et Florida.’ 
Plukenet’s plants are parties in the Sloane collections at the 
British Museum. Among them we find one of J. bermudiana with 
dimorphic foliage (H. a 00. 154 & 96,121). Another specimen 
(H. 8. 83, fol. 38), obtained from the garden of Mr. Edward Morgan 
in Westminster, is doubtless J. virginiana with primordial foliage 
(A. 8. 91, fol. 51), which is inscribed “Cedrus Juniperus Insule 
Bermude, R. H. 1414,” is J. communis L. From all this it seems 
that the ‘‘Queen’s Botanist”’ an like his successors, have been 
somewhat confused with these junipers. 
about the same date are Recitiene in the Sloane Herbarium 
from bon. to which my attention has been _ by Mr. Britten, 
to whose courtesy I am indebted for the opportunity of inspecting 
many of these — oo of whose existence I should otherwise 
have been unaware. Banister Bas two specimens, one labelled 
* Juniperus 8. Cedrus Nove Angliz an Sabina foliis Cupressi altera 
ete.” This has priniordiil foliage only, but is doubtless 
referable to J. eaten as is likewise a second specimen ( 
168, fol. = called “Cedrus virginiana’’; this also has only 
acicular leave 
Pe tiver’ s “ Botanicum oe Indicum,” a collection of 
garden plants, is a specimen (H.S. 76, fol. 35) inscribed as 
follows :—‘‘ Bermuda Cedar. I have it elsewhere in res from that 
very island; and is a true Juniper, R. H. 1414.” This is the true 
Juniperus bermudiana L. The exact date of this pore ate cannot 
be assigned. 
A similar remark applies to the ‘collection of plants gathered 
and dried by ie of Mary Dutchess of Beaufort and given by her 
to Sir Hans Slo In vol. iv. of this collection (Herb. Sloane 
133), fol. 60, the « * Cedar of Burmuda” ies subulate intermediate

Virginia.” This is iage only.
