          JATROPHA CURCAS. Physic
Nut. Native of tropical America. Low

used as a hedge plant. The
fruit is fleshy, about the size of a
filbert, containing white kernels with
almond-like taste, but violently purgative. 
ANTIDOTE: DRINK QUANTITIES

36082. JUGLANS REGIA
SINENSIS. English Walnut. From
Changli, Chili Province, China.
Through Frank N. Meyer. The erroneously 
called Manchurian walnut,
because coming from near the great
wall of China, merely a strain of the
English or Persian walnut. Preliminary 
tests indicate that it is hardier
than the strains from southern Europe 
and northwest Asia.

34352. JUNIPERUS CEDRUS.
Canary Island Juniper. From Teneriffe, 
Canary Islands, through George
V. Perez. A tall tree, formerly abundant 
in the sub-Alpine districts and
higher valleys of the Canary Islands,
but now quite rare there, having been
cut for its excellent timber. Very
similar to Juniperus oxycedrus but possibly 
better adapted to cultivation in
southern California and in Florida.
