Cupressaceae is the name of the family to which the juniper tree belongs.

Specifically, the juniper tree carries the genus name Juniperus. The genus is one of those subsumed by the cypress family. The family name originates in the combination of the Latin noun cupressus ("cypress") and the Latin ending -aceae ("belonging to [the family]).
