Berries roundish-oval, tubercled. Branches and branchlets recurved. (D. Don.) An evergreen shrub. Nepal, in Narainhetty. Height 5 ft. to 10 ft. Introduced in Flowering in May, and ripening its fruit in November following. It forms a graceful bush, or low tree, from its pen- dulous 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 chafify 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. It is as hardy as the common juniper, and deserves to be as generally cultivated. » -a 13. J. chine'nsis L. The Chinese Juniper. Identification. Lin.
