194 CYPRESSES AND JUNIPERS 
does not produce male and female flowers on the same 
tree. The Cypresses, which are always monecious, 
are much more accommodating in this respect of 
disclosure of identity. 
Mr. E. Wilson has sent back from Japan (1914) a 
quantity of the seed of the J. Littoralis (or J. Conferta), 
and in some cases they are being given a trial trip 
by certain inland growers. Whether they will sigh 
for those sea-shores—with which their name implies 
association—eventually, as did Tennyson’s cedars for 
their native Lebanon, is one of those problems that 
we must leave for the futurists to cope with. So far, 
there seems a certain lack of midstream directness 
about the relations of these various Junipers, vouch- 
safed to us by the High and Mighties, that hardly 
helps to guide struggles on the straight current of a 
sure course. 
We complete the subject of Junipers with this 
consoling reflection: that here there is a wide field 
open for the close student to occupy an industrious 
mind upon. When he has achieved an intimate 
acquaintance and a thorough mastery over all the 
Junipers all the world over, he will find himself 
occupying a very unique position among the savants 
of his art. To us, such a mastery of detail looks very 
like one of those puzzles at which ‘‘ the world grows 
pale.” 
Note.—For those who wish to pursue further the intricacies and 
ramifications of the family tree in the Juniperine Tribal History, we 
append some other names of species not commented upon here, for 
one, either, or all of the following reasons: 
(1). That they are species that have been tried and found unsuitable 
to our climate, 
(2) That as a species their individuality is still undetermined, and 
hardly so far emerged from the regions of controversy 
among eminent authorities, 
(3) That they have only been recently discovered, or imperfectly 
described. 
(4) That they are discarded synonyms.
