Juniperus spp. [Pinaceae]; Juniper.
Berries of Juniper are present in a number of samples./<,>
Two species appear to be represented, some of the berries
having been determined (Herb. Kew.) as probably JuniperusOxy-
<Insert (5)> cedrus L., the Prickly Juniper, and not J. phoenicea L.,
which has previously been recorded from Egypt, while others
were determined by Mr W. Dallimore as probably J.excelsa,
Bieb., the Grecian Juniper.
JuniperusOxycedrus is widely distributed throughout
the Mediterranean region, extending Eastwards to Syria,
Western Asia Minor, the Caucasus, Armenia, N. Persia etc.
(Elw.).
J. excelsa is native in Asia Minor, Syria, Armenia and
the Caucasus (Elw.)
Juniper berries are stated to have been among the
constituents of Kyphi (Tsch.), and medicinal properties
have been ascribed to them (Woen., Drag.).
