Juniperus maritima
Also called Rocky Mountain Juniper, Rocky Mountain Red Cedar, Red Cedar, River Juniper, Western Juniper, Colorado Juniper
Juniperus maritima is a species of juniper known by the common name seaside juniper. It is native to the central Salish Sea region in southwestern British Columbia and northwestern Washington, where it is an endemic species and is abundant on coast bluffs as well as on dry mountain ridges on the Olympic Peninsula. It was previously included in the description of the Rocky Mountain juniper (Juniperus scopulorum) but was separated in 2007. Genetic analysis revealed that what appeared to be Rocky Mountain junipers in the Puget Sound were not of the same species as those elsewhere. The Puget Sound species also differs in morphology, with faster-maturing cones that have protruding seeds, and other differences. It is especially unique in habitat.
