ern form. Not uncommon, in bogs, in the Columbia valley, near 

 Donald, and in an old beavei'-meadow at the mouth of Beaver Creek, 

 thirteen miles below Donald, B.C. {Macoun.) On rocky soil along 

 the shores of Kamloops, Frangois and other lakes, and elsewhere, with 

 a diameter of about one foot. Not infrequent on rocky points on 

 Vancouver Island and small islands in the Gulf of Georgia. (Dawson.) 



(2067.) J. Virginiana, Linn. Eed Cedar. 



J. Barbadensis, Michx. Fl. II., 246, 



Partridge Island, Parsboro, N.S. {How.) Eather uncommon at 

 Ottawa, but extending both above and below the city. (Fletclier, Fl. 

 Ott.) This species is confined in Ontario to rocky river banks, ascend- 

 ing all the rivers entering the St. Lawrence and great lakes between 

 Montreal and Parry Sound. Very abundant in the Bay of Quinte dis- 

 trict, covering large areas along its shores, even at the present time. 

 Although ascending the rivers for many miles, it is never found away 

 from their rocky shores, and on the Niagara peninsula, where it is still 

 tolerably abundant, it delights in rocky soil. {Macoun.) Port Col- 

 borne, Point Abino and Fort Erie, Ont. {David F. Day.) Sandy and 

 rocky ground, Kingston, and at Niagara Falls, Ont. {Burgess.) This 

 tree crosses the St. Lawrence about mid-way between Montreal and 

 Lake Ontario, and reachesTJake Huron at Parry Sound. {R. Bell.) 



(2068.) J. communis, Linn. Common Juniper. 



This species, under either its common or alpine form, is found from 

 the bleak rocks of Labrador to the coast of the Pacific. At one time 

 on an exposed shore, at another on a mountain top, beside the cat- 

 ract, and again on the shore of a lonely lake, it greets the wanderer 

 wherever he may be, and yet it is nowhere abundant. On Point 

 Pleasant, Halifax, N.S. ; also Sydney, Cape Breton Island. {Lawson & 

 How.) Dry pastui-es and. barren hills, St. John Co., N.B. {Fowler's 

 Cat.) Charlotte, King's Co., N.B. {Hay.) Fi-equent on the shores 

 of the St. Lawrence Eiver and Gulf from the Island of Orleans to the 

 Straits of Belle Isle. {St. Cyr.) Throughout Ontario and west> 

 ward across the prairie to the Eocky Mountains, where it assumes the 

 next form. {Macoun.) North fork of Old Man Eiver, foot-hills, 

 Eocky Mountains. {Dawson.) In the most exposed and sterile situa- 

 tions. {Hooker.)
