Juniperus barbadensis, also known as West Indian juniper, is a species of conifer in the family Cupressaceae endemic to the West Indies.
It is native to the Bahamas, Cuba, Jamaica, and Saint Lucia; the latter two countries have only a single population remaining. It was formerly found on Barbados and Hispaniola (in Haiti), but is now extirpated from both locales.[1]
