TAXONOMY : 
The accepted scientific name for Pinchot juniper is Juniperus pinchotii
Sudworth.  There are no recognized subspecies, varieties, or forms
[20,43,50,56].

Pinchot juniper is probably a stabilized hybrid between alligator
juniper (J. deppeana) and oneseed juniper (J. monosperma) [16].  Reports
of hybridization between Pinchot juniper and oneseed juniper were not
substantiated by chemosystematic analysis [1,2,57].  Pinchot juniper
does appear to hybridize with redberry juniper (J. erythrocarpa) in an
area of sympatry in the Chisos Mountains Basin, Texas.  It also appears
to hybridize with Ashe juniper (J. ashei) [1,2,27].
