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]

Microbiota is a monotypic genus of evergreen coniferous shrubs in the cypress family Cupressaceae, containing only one species, Microbiota decussata. The plant is native and endemic to a limited area of the Sikhote-Alin mountains in Primorskiy Krai in the Russian Far East. Microbiota is not to be confused with the range of microorganisms of the same name. The genus name was derived from micro-, meaning "small", + Biota, the genus name for a closely related conifer, a species formerly called Biota orientalis, now renamed Platycladus orientalis.

It is listed as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List because it is a widespread species with an increasing population.
