Cupressus juniperoidesLinnaeus, Species Plantarum, ed. 2, 2: 1422. 1763.
"Habitat ad Cap. b. spei." RCN: 7259.
Type not designated.
Original material: none traced.
Note:The application of this name is uncertain and it was rejected as a nomen ambiguumby Marsh (in Bothalia9: 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. juniperoidesis unlikely to relate to a species of Widdringtonia.
