Talk:Juniper

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I have often heard that Juniper berries are poisonous; however, not so in the quantities present in gin. Any idea where this legend comes from and if there is any factual basis?

Transferring the individually described species to separate pages - more to follow. MPF 01:18, 29 Jan 2004 (UTC)

When I'm done the classification page in full, I'll remove the duplication on the main page MPF 01:52, 29 Jan 2004 (UTC)

Juniper could also mean a router vendor so, how do you highlight that

The description box to the right says that there are 50-55 species, while the first few sentances state that there are 50-67. Maybe someone should take a look at that, as I am not a biology expert:)

Is the division in New world and Old world accepted? I think it sounds too United States centred, Wouldn't the American continent and the Eurasian continent be more descriptive? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 193.251.135.118 (talk • contribs).

It is the most compact way of putting it; several Old World species occur in Africa as well as Europe and Asia, so saying 'Eurasian continent' doesn't fit. - MPF 09:17, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
