156 JUNIPEEUS, OK 



It is found in the Island of Barbadoes, and other Windward 

 Islands, but has been widely distributed by the Loddiges under 

 the name of Juniperus Gossainthanea, a name evidently origi- 

 nating in carelessness, for no such plant is to be found in that 

 part of India, as is evident from the writings of such excellent 

 and acute observers as Major Madden, Mr. Winterbottom, and 

 Drs. Wallich, Hooker, and Griffith ; for if such a tree existed in 

 Gossainthan, it certainly would have been detected by one or 

 other of those excellent travellers. 



It is rather tender.
