Extract

Difficulty is being experienced in obtaining natural regeneration of Juniperus procera in the Daloh Forest, Erigavo, British Somaliland due to infection of the seed by an unidentified species of Megastigmus. In 1953, Mr. A. R. Tribe succeeded in breeding specimens from infested seed, and this material, together with a subsequent collection by Mr. J. J. Lawrie in January 1954, has been used as the basis of the following description.
