This new species of Juniperus is only met with at great elevations on the Himalaya Range, in situations
where the snow lies during a great part of the year. It is called by the natives Pudma Chundur, and is said
to be so plentiful in the district called Garawhal, that the inhabitants use it for fuel. The wood is said to be
made use of by the Hindoos in their sacrificial offerings, like the ancient cedar.
