of E. juvenile, and parent. Cf. Gin the liquor.] (Bot.)

spreading form, having awl-shaped, rigid leaves in
whorls of threes, and bearing small purplish blue
berries (or galbuli), of a warm, pungent taste, used as
diuretic and in flavoring gin. A resin exudes from the
bark, which has erroneously been considered identical
with sandarach, and is used as pounce. The oil of

used in cabinetwork under the names of red cedar,
