Juniperus gracilior

Juniperus gracilior is a species of conifer in the Cupressaceae family that is endemic to the Caribbean island of Hispaniola. It is threatened by habitat loss.

The typical variety is known only from a locality near Constanza, Valle del Jaque; var. ekmanii is recorded from Morne la Selle and Morne la Visite, although the latter subpopulation is now thought to be extinct; and var. urbaniana appears to have been reduced to inaccessible areas although viable populations were recorded in 1984 in Pic la Selle.
