anther-scales 10-12, rounded, entire, each bearing usually 4 or sometimes 
6 anther-cells; berries on straight peduncles, 1-2-seeded; seeds angled, 
mostly grooved, and often rough toward the upper end. — Spec. PI. 1471 
(1753) ; Parlat. 1. c. 488. (See Fig. 8.)., 
From the St. Lawrence to Florida and from the Atlantic to the North¬ 
ern Pacific; it is not found in Southern Texas, in the greater part of 
Utah and Arizona, and in the whole of California and perhaps Oregon; 
in Washington Territory and British Columbia it associates with Sabina 
and perhaps with occidentalism and in the Rocky Mountains south of Pike’s 
Peak with the latter species; on the upper Missouri (Cedar Island) it 
attains large dimensions. — Usually the berries are small, about 3 lines 
thick, but in the Rocky Mountains forms occur with berries of 4 or 5 lines 
in diameter, and with larger seeds ; among the foot-hills of Pike’s Peak 
the trees of this species have the size and shape of an apple tree, with a 
rounded, spreading top. 
9. J. Bermudiana, Lin.; A tree said to have been common on the Ber¬ 
mudas, and also in other West Indian Islands, of which I have seen only 
a few specimens. Branchlets stout; leaves in pairs, oblong or linear- 
oblong, obtuse, closely appressed, with entire margins and a well marked 
linear gland or resin-duct on the back; anther-scales about 16, large, 
rounded, smooth-edged, with about 6 cells; berry with 2-4 seeds, much 
like those of the last species.—Spec. PI. 1. c.—Parlat. 1. c. 490. (See Fig. 8.) 
J- Barbadensis, Lin. is said to be the same species, and Biota Melden - 
sis, Gord. its aeerose young state. Michaux, as well as Parlatore, quotes 
Florida as its home, but all the specimens from that country which I have 
seen, even those from Cedar Keys, and those of Michaux’s Herbarium 
in Paris under the name Of J. Barbadensis , are nothing but forms of J. 
Virginiana, with very small, rounded and strongly convex leaves. The 
forms from the different West Indian Islands, all referred to y. Bermu¬ 
diana, require further examination, as we know that one at least, from Cuba 
(see p. v 59o), is certainly quite different from it.
