TAXONOMY : 
The currently accepted scientific name on oneseed juniper is Juniperus
monosperma (Engelm.) Sarg.  Oneseed juniper has been placed within the
section Sabina [77].  It is known to hybridize with alligator juniper
(J. deppeana); these two species form hybrid swarms from central Mexico
through southern Colorado [28].  Redberry juniper (J. pinchotii) is
reportedly the product of a stabilized hybrid of oneseed juniper and
alligator juniper [28,53].  Hybrid swarms between oneseed juniper and
redberry juniper occur in parts of the Southwest [28,47].

Two varieties, based on certain morphological differences as well as
geographic distibution, are generally recognized [81] :

     Juniperus monosperma (Engelm.) Sarg. var. monosperma
     Juniperus monosperma (Engelm.) Sarg. var. gracilis Martinez
