The Bermudas Cedar coming from a more temperate climate is 
somewhat more tender than the former and more impatient of our

In the Hortus on aac haps p. 464, Linneus gives a de- 
scription of J. virginiana with the two kinds of foliage. Plukenet’s 
barbadensis (“Almsige 2% 201, é. 197, f. 4, mala’’) is cited as 
synonymous, as also the plant described in Plukenet’s Manitissa, 
109, previously mentioned. The ‘‘ Juniperus maxima,” &e., of Sloane 
and of Ray are also referred here. The localities given are, ‘‘Vir-

In the first edition of the Species Plantarum (1753), p. 1039, we 
find three species briefly described in the following order. The

In Gmelin’s edition of the Systema, ii. p. 1004, the description 
of J. virginiana is given differently, as follows:—‘‘J. Virginiana

state of our knowledge, to enable us to allot them with precision.
