TAXONOMY:
The scientific name for Ashe's juniper is Juniperus ashei Buchholz.
(Cupressaceae). Ashe's juniper is thought to hybridize with Pinchot's
juniper (J. pinchotii) [19,30]. Adams and Kistler [3] summarized a number
of studies that investigated the report that Ashe's juniper hybridizes with
eastern redcedar (J. virginiana) [17,18]. They concluded that there was
no evidence of gene flow between the two species, even though their
ranges overlap and morphological intermediates exist. There are no
recognized subspecies, forms, or varieties of Ashe's juniper.
