Adams, R. P. & Turuspekov, Y.: Taxonomic reassessment of some Central Asian and Himalayan scale-leaved taxa of Juniperus (Cupressaceae) supported by random amplification of polymorphic DNA. – Taxon 47: 75-83. 1998. – ISSN 0040-0262.
Analysis of central Asian Juniperus using RAPD revealed that J. centrasiatica, J. turkestanica, and J. pseudosabina appear to belong to a single species, to be named J. pseudosabina. This conclusion is also supported by previous work on terpenoids. Putative J. indica from Nepal (shrub form) was found to be distinct from J. pseudosabina. It appears that the common scale-leaved shrub or tree juniper of the Himalayas should be called J. indica not J. pseudosabina.
