ABSTRACT
SNPs from nrDNA and cp trnC-trnD were analyzed from J.
indica, J. recurva and Rushforth's juniper from Bhutan and compared
with previous terpene and RAPD data. These data, taken together,
show that Rushforth's juniper is allied, but distinct from J. indica and a
new variety is named: J. indica var. rushforthiana R. P. Adams from
