Juniperus seravschanica is a species of juniper. Common names include Pashtun juniper (Pashto: اوبښته ōbəx̌ta, "[a species] which sucks water"; Pashto: پښتني صنوبر).
It ranges from southernmost Kazakhstan through Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, eastern Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan, to northern and eastern Afghanistan, northern Pakistan, and Kashmir. Outlying populations are found in the mountains of southeastern Iran – near Kuhbanan, Rabor, and on Kuh-e Khabr in the Hazaran range – and the Hajar Mountains of Oman.[1][2]
Juniperus seravschanica is sometimes classified as a subspecies of J. polycarpos or J. excelsa.[1][2]
