leaves imbricate in four rows, acute. Spanifh juniper 
grows to the height of twenty-five or thirty feet, and 
fends out many branches, which form a fort of pyramid. 
Leaves acute, lying over each other in four rows, lo as to 
make the branches four-cornered. Berries very large,- 
black when ripe. Native of Spain and Portugal. 
a. Juniperus Barbadenfis, or Barbadoes juniper: all the 
leaves imbricate in four rows, the younger ovate, the 
older acute. Barbadoes juniper or cedar, or Jamaica berry¬ 
bearing cedar, has been confounded with the Bermudas- 
cedar; but the branches of this fpread very wide, the 
leaves are extremely fmall, and are every-where imbricate; 
the bark is rugged, fplits off in firings, and is of a very 
dark colour. The berries are fmaller than thole of the 
Bermudas cedar, and are of a light-brown colour when 
ripe. It is a native of the Weft Indies, where it rifes to 
be one of the largeft timber-trees; the wood is frequently 
fetched from thence by the inhabitants of North America, 
for building (hips. It is alfo an inhabitant of China and 
Japan. Cultivated in 1759, by Mr. Miller. 
3. Juniperus Bermudiana, or Bermudas juniper : lower 
leaves in threes, upper in pairs, decurrent, awl-ffiaped, 
fpreading, acute. Bermudas juniper, commonly called 
Bermudas cedar, whilft young, has acute-pointed leaves, 
which fpread open, and are placed by threes round the 
branches; but, as the trees advance, their leaves alter, and 
the branches become four-cornered ; the leaves are very 
(hort, and lie over each other by fours round the branches. 
The berries are produced towards the ends of the.branches, 
and are of a dark-red colour, inclining to purple. .The 
wood has a very ftrong odour, and was formerly in great 
elteem for wainfcotting rooms, and allb for furniture. 
Native of America. Dr. Patrick Browne fays, that it 
grows very plentifully in mod of the Blue Mountains of 
Jamaica, where it is frequently cut down for planks, &c,.
