 Leaves, according to Hayne, h in. in length. A bushy shrub, from 

 3 ft. to 5 ft. high ; but, in favourable situations, growing much 

 higher. (Willd.)

 Bauh. ; the Swedish, or true, Juniper ; (Jig. 2343.) has 

 the leaves spreading and acute, and according to 

 Hayne, 1 in. in length; and the branches erect, with 

 oblong fruit. This kind was supposed by Miller to 

 be a species, because he found it always come true from 

 seed. It generally attains the height of 10 ft. or 12 ft., 

 and sometimes of 16 ft. or 18 ft. The branches are 

 more erect than those of the common juniper ; the 

 leaves are narrower, they end in more acute points, 

 and are placed farther asunder on the branches ; the 

 berries are also larger and longer. It is a native of 

 Sweden, Denmark, and Norway, and is in common 

 cultivation in British nurseries. The leaves of the 

 plants in the Horticultural Society's Garden, which 

 are marked J. suecica, and also those of the plants 

 that are sold for that variety, or species in the British nurseries, are 

 rather shorter than those of the common juniper ; or, at all events, 

 not longer. Perhaps the variety J. c. oblonga, mentioned below, 

 which has leaves an inch long, and the fruit oblong, 

 may be the true Swedish Juniper.
