bark. Slioots dark green, dicho-

formed sharp leaves. Berries
terminal, globular, middle-sized,
nearly black when ripe, and covered
with a glaucous bloom ;
containing 3 or 4 stones. Pallas

principally in the greater thickness
of the shoots, and in the leaves
being acute and less clustered. A

(WiUd.) An evergreen tree. Spain and Portugal.
Height 20 ft. to 30 ft. Cultivated in 1752. Flowering
in May and June, and ripening its large black
berries at the end of the following year.
The leaves are acute, and lie over each other in four
rows, so as to make the branches appear four-cornered.
Berries very large, and black when ripe. There is a
tree at Mr. Lambert’s seat at Boyton, which, in 1837,
was 28 ft. high, with a trunk 9 in. in diameter. I t strikes
readily from cuttings, and deserves to be extensively
propagated.

Engraving. Our fig. 2031.
Spec. Char., 4c. Leaves linear-lanceolate, mucronate,
loosely imbricated, smooth, convex beneath. Berries
roundish-oval, tubercled. Branches and branchlets
recurved. (D. Don.) An evergreen shrub, Nepal,
in Narainhetty. Height 5 ft. to 10 ft. Introduced
in 1830. Flowering in May, and ripening its fruit in
November following.
It forms a graceful bush, or low tree, from its pendulous
habit ; and it is readily distinguished from all
the other species, not only by this circumstance, but by
the mixture of its brown half-decayed chaffy leaves of
the past year with its greenish grey leaves of the
present year. The bark is rough, brown, and soon
begins to curl up, when it has a rough appearance,
and ultimately scales off. I t is as hardy as the common
juniper, and deserves to be as generally cultivated.
