The record of the flora of the Jornada Experimental Range in south central New Mexico does not include the Alligator juniper (f. pachuphloea Torr.). (See Little and Campbell, 1943, Amer. Midland Natur., vol. 30., no. 3, p. 656.) Visits just south of the area on Black Mountain at the southern end of the San Andres Range and to Rhodes Pass, approximately 40 miles to the north, in the northern part of the San Andres Mountains have shown the tree to be a common dominant at suitable locations at approximately 6500 feet elevation. As it was expected that the tree might be found between these two areas on the Jornada Experimental Range, careful note was taken on field trips. In November 1943, a single tree was found in Ash Canyon; since then two more trees have been located, one in St. Nicholas Canyon and one near Goldenburg Springs, all on the Jornada Range. A specimen is now in the field herbarium at the headquarters area of the Jornada. Doubtless, further search will reveal more specimens of this species scattered among the more common one-seeded junipers (J. monosperma) and pinyon pines (P. edulis), the only other members of the Pinaceae on the area.
