on the grounds of Hoopes Bro, and Thomas in 1870. It “has stout, erect 
branches from every part of the plant, which are of a silvery glaucous color.” 
How hardy or permanent it may be does not yet appear. 
Juniperus Japonica, Carriere. JAPAN JUNIPER. ( Yuniperus Chinensis, 
Linneus; Funiperus procumbens, Siebold; Funiperus Chinensis procumbens, 
Endlicher.) A \ow, spreading bush from Japan. Hardy in England, and 
probably so here. It has the varieties—alba, Standish; from Japan, the 
* smaller branches and branchlets of which are white; commonly known as the 
White Variegated Japan Juniper. aurea, Fortune, known as the GOLDEN 
VARIEGATED JAPAN JUNIPER; has the smaller branches and branchlets of a 
golden-yellow color, and is quite a handsome shrub. 
Juniperus macrocarpa, Sidthorp. LARGE-FRUITED JUNIPER. (For the 
long list of synonymes of this species, Gordon’s Pinetum may be consulted.) 
A desirable shrub, 1o feet high in its Mediterranean home, but not quite hardy 
here. It is in the Park list, however. 
Juniperus nana, Willdenow. Under this name Gordon gives what others 
have considered as a form of the Juniper common to the colder parts of North 
America. Hardy here, of course. 
Juniperus oblongata, Loudon. OBLONG-FRUITED or CAUCASIAN JUNIPER. 
( Funiperus reflexa, Parlatore; Funiperus communis Caucasica, Endlicher.) 
A hardy bush, 4 to 6 feet high, from the Western Caucasus and the Taurian 
Mountains. Leaves rigid, sharp-pointed, green on one side and glaucous on the 
other. The branches turn upwards at the ends, but the slender branchlets 
droop. Handsome, and hardy here. 
’ 
_ es occidentale, Hooker. WESTERN JUNIPER, RocKyY MOUNTAIN 
Juniper. (List of synonymes too long to quote here: see Gordon’s Pine- 
tum for 13 of them.) A middle-sized, beautiful tree, but not hardy here. 
Engelmann separates-from this Juniperus Californica, Carriere; the latter, 
i besides its structural peculiarities, coming from lower grounds. The Park has 
also the variety Parsonii.

3 Juniperus Oxycedrus, Zinneus. PRICKLY CEDAR. ( Funiperus Mons- 
peliensium, Lobel; Funiperus Oxycedrus Phenicea, Dodon.) Shrub or small 
tree from the Mediterranean shores. The fruit is large for a Juniper, and is 
used for flavoring gin. In the Park; but its hardiness is doubtful. 
l * Juniperus pachyphlea, 7Zorrey. THICK-BARKED JUNIPER. This 
striking tree from Arizona and New Mexico might be worth a careful trial 
here. In its home it grows on cold, exposed, often barren situations, and this 
suggests a trial of it here. It has a thick white bark, strikingly like that of 
White Oak at a distance. 
Wz Juniperus Pheenicea, Zinneus. PHCENICIAN JUNIPER. ( Yuniperus te- 
tragona, Minch; Funiperus Langoldiana, Hort.; Cupressus Devoniana, 
fort.) Small tree from the South of Europe, requiring here great care and 
a warm situation to make it succeed. In outline it is a beautiful pyramid. 
The Park also has the variety Lycia, Loudon ; from the South of Europe. 
It is quite as handsome as the species, but no hardier. From this tree the 
olibanum “ used as incense in religious ceremonies on the Continent” is ob- 
tained. It is also the Cypress-Leaved Cedar of the Greeks. 
Juniperus pseudo-Sabina, fischer. Simerian Juniper. A_ dense
