What are Juniper and Heptacodium?
Juniper Junipers are coniferous plants in the genus Juniperus of the cypress family Cupressaceae. Depending on taxonomic viewpoint, between 50 and 67 species of juniper are widely distributed throughout the Northern Hemisphere, from the Arctic, south to tropical Africa, from Ziarat, Pakistan east to eastern Tibet in the Old World, and in the mountains of Central America. The highest-known Juniper forest occurs at an altitude of 16000 ft in south-eastern Tibet and the northern Himalayas, creating one of the highest tree-lines on earth.
Chalciporus piperatus Chalciporus piperatus, commonly known as the peppery bolete, is a small pored mushroom of the family Boletaceae found in mixed woodland in Europe and North America. It has been recorded under introduced trees in Brazil, and has become naturalised in Tasmania and spread under native "Nothofagus cunninghamii" trees. A small bolete, the fruit body has a 1.6 – orange-fawn cap with cinnamon to brown pores underneath, and a 4 – high by 0.6 – thick stipe. The rare variety "hypochryseus", found only in Europe, has yellow pores and tubes.
