Tt forms a graceful bush, or low tree, from its pen- 
dulous habit; and it is readily distinguished from all 
the other species, not only by this circumstance, but by 
the mixture of its brown half-decayed chaffy leaves of 
the past year with its greenish grey leaves of the 
present year. The bark is rough, brown, and soon 
begins to curl up, when it has a rough appearance, 
and ultimately scales off. It is as hardy as the common 
juniper, and deserves to be as generally cultivated. 2051. J. rechrva.
