Bob - I love easy questions! Especially when I'm just about to leave
work. Thanks for the chance

The genus of junipers is... Juniperus!

As an aside, if you're looking for info on the web, you'll want to
look for "prostata" and "juniper" (note spellings), but be aware there
are LOTS of floppy crawly (=prostrata) juniper cultivars out there.

Like:

Juniperus horizontalis
Juniperus chinensis 'Pfitzeriana' (and a zillion varieties of it)
Juniperus chinensis 'San Jose'
Juniperus chinensis var. sargentii (and a scad of similar ones)
Juniperus procumbens (and J. p. 'Nana')
Juniperus sabina 'Broadmoor'
Juniperus scopulorum 'Winter Blue'
Juniperus squamata 'Blue carpet'

And undoubtedly many others that I have never seen or heard of.

All junipers (please note spelling) belong to the genus Juniperus. There are
many juniper species with a prostrate growth habit. The one you may be thinking
of, which closely resembles J. procumbens 'Nana,' is Juniperus squamata
'Prostrata.'
