From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) [web1913]:
   Juniper \Ju"ni*per\, n. [L. juniperus, prop., youth-producing,
      and so called from its evergreen appearance, from the roots
      of E. juvenile, and parent. Cf. {Gin} the liquor.] (Bot.)
      Any evergreen shrub or tree, of the genus {Juniperus} and
      order {Conifer[91]}.
  
      Note: The common juniper ({J. communis}) is a shrub of a low,
               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
               juniper is acrid, and used for various purposes, as in
               medicine, for making varnish, etc. The wood of several
               species is of a reddish color, hard and durable, and is
               used in cabinetwork under the names of red cedar,
               Bermuda cedar, etc.
  
      {Juniper worm} (Zo[94]l.), the larva of a geometrid moth
            ({Drepanodes varus}). It feeds upon the leaves of the
            juniper, and mimics the small twigs both in form and
            color, in a remarkable manner.
