Cupressus juniperoides Linnaeus, Species Plantarum, ed. 2, 2: 1422. 1763.

"Habitat ad Cap. b. spei." RCN: 7259.

Type not designated.

Original material: none traced.

Current name: Widdringtonia nodiflora (L.) Powrie ( Cupressaceae).

Note: The application of this name is uncertain and it was rejected as a nomen ambiguum by Marsh (in Bothalia 9: 124. 1966). See further comments by Powrie (in J. S. African Bot. 38: 303. 1972), and by Farjon (Monogr. Cupressaceae Sciadopitys: 469. 2005), who believes C. juniperoides is unlikely to relate to a species of Widdringtonia .
