Juniperus komarovii

Conifers and Other Gymnosperms

Juniperus komarovii is a species of conifer in the cypress family, Cupressaceae, and belongs to the juniper genus. It is found only in China, where it grows in forests at elevations of 3,000 to 4,000 metres, roughly 9,800 to 13,100 feet. It is a monoecious tree, bearing both male and female cones on the same individual, and it can reach about 20 metres in height. It usually has a single straight trunk with drooping branches and an irregular, open crown. The species name was published by Florin in Acta Horti Gothoburgensis in 1927, and the species is treated in the Flora of China by Liguo Fu, Yong-fu Yu, Robert P. Adams and Aljos Farjon. The short source account gives no information on its conservation status, uses or reproduction beyond the monoecious habit, so those are left unrecorded here.
