INTRODUCTORY STATEMENT

Inventory 1. 11, including material received by the Division of Foreign Plant
Introduction from April 1 to June 30, 1932 (nos. 98257 to 100467, inclusive),
records conspicuously the collections of the Allison V. Armour expedition to the
West Indies from December 1931 to April 1932, in which a widely varied. range
of tropical plants was gathered. Particular attention was paid to mangoes, of
which 27 numbers were collected to be added to the permanent collection at
Coconut Grove, Fla., where the test collection is established at the United States
Plant Introduction Garden. A considerable number of palms were secured for

_ the collection at the same garden, and a large number of ornamentals, including

orchids, aroids, and bromeliads, as well as herbaceous perennials and flowering
trees and shrubs, a total of 431 numbers.

The Erlanson-MacMillan expedition to Peru records in this inventory 328
introductions, of which 264 numbers were wild potatoes, the main object of the
expedition. A considerable collection of native corn (99244-99288) was included.

In addition to the mangoes brought back by the Allison V. Armour expedition,
the collection at Coconut Grove is increased by the collections from Puerto Rico
(99760-99771, 99793-99801) and from Tahiti (99802-99804).

Through the kindness of Maj. Lionel de Rothschild, London, England, in
sharing the material from the sixth Forrest expedition to southwestern China,
this inventory records seeds numbered 99823—-100103, 100141—100226, and
100281—100364, valued particularly for lilies, meconopsis, nomocharis, and
primulas.

China is also represented by the collections received from Joseph Rock (99059—
99070, 99676-99682), Albert Steward (99139-99242), and the botanical garden of
Dr. Sun Yat Sen’s memorial park, Nanking (98364-98387).

Special contributions for the specialists of the Division of Forage Crops and
Diseases were received from the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (98271-
98304, 98524-98536), from Wales (99115-99138), from New South Wales (99327-
99333), from Australia (99822-99325, 99467-99489, 100107—100113), and from
New Zealand (100231—100251), including both grasses and legumes.

From the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics special collections for the use of
other Department specialists were received, including cotton (98782-98790),
peanuts (99302-99314), and sweetpotatoes (100253-100267).

25842—34——1

Z PLANT MATERIAL INTRODUCED

Other collections, particularly of ornamentals, are recorded for the permanent
collections of the several plant-introduction gardens maintained by this Division,
particularly collections of species and varieties of maple.

The botanical determinations were made and the nomenclature determined by
the late H. C. Skeels,! who had general supervision of this inventory.

2Tt should be understood that the names of horticultural varieties of fruits, vegetables, cereals, and
other plants used in this inventory are those under which the material was received when introduced by
the Division of Foreign Plant Introduction and, further, that the printing of such names here does not
constitute their official publication and adoption in this country. As the different varieties are studied,
their entrance into the American trade forecast, and the use of varietal names for them in American litera-
ture becomes necessary, the foreign varietal designations appearing in this inventory will be subject to
change with a view to bringing the forms of the names into harmony with reccgnized horticultural
nomenclature. '

It is a well-known fact that botanical descriptions, both technical and economic, seldom mention the
seeds at all and rarely describe them in such a way as to make possible identification from the seeds alone.
Many of the unusual plants listed in these inventories are appearing in this country for the first time, and
there are no seed samples or herbarium specimens with ripe seeds with which the new arrivals may be
compared. The only identification possible is to see that the sample received resembles seeds of other
species of the same genus or of related genera. The reponsibility for the identifications therefore must
necessarily often rest with the person sending the material. If there is any question regarding the correct-
ness of the identification of any plant received from this Division, herbarium specimens of leaves and flowers
should be sent in so that definite identification can be made.

medium-sized pear-shaped subacid mango
which ripens in August.

98402. No. 3720. Tin T’in. The Tin mango
seems to be a race of seedlings coming partly
true to type. There is a theory that these
seedlings came from a grafted mango. They
are not immune to anthracnose, but fruit in
February and March and again from April to
August.

98403. No. 3721. Amelie. A medium-sized,
green-yellow mango which has a red blush
if grown in the sun; one of the most prized
mangoes of the island. It is a midseason
variety and rather stringy and not so good
a shipper as the Julie.

98404. No. 3722. Imperial. A large very juicy
yellow fruit with a small seed and very little
fiber, which ripens in midseason.

98405. No. 3723. Graham. A _ seedling of the
Julie, that has a larger fruit and develops a
crimson blush when grown in the sun. It is
preferred by many in the West Indies to the
Julie, which seems to be the standard mango
of the islands.

98406. No. 3724. Julie. This dwarf mango,
with wedge-shaped squarish fruit that in
sunlight develops a distinct red blush, is
becoming the standard mango of the West
Indies. It is a midseason variety, yielding a
reasonably sure crop, and is a good shipper.

Nos. 98407 and 98408 were presented by Mr.
Buffon, head gardener at Jardin d’Essais, Basse
verre, Guadeloupe, French West Indies, March 12,

Pe

98407. No. 3787. D’Or. A large round yellow
mango, not fibrous, with a medium-sized
seed and much juicy flesh, rather inclined
toward the acid side.

98408. No. 3788. Coq D’Inde (turkey egg). A
small yellow mango about the size of a turkey
egg, with thin skin, a large seed, and highly
perfumed yellow fibrous flesh. A midseason
variety that may prove better than the ordi-
nary ‘‘turpentine’’ mango.

98409. No. 3816. Quanto. From Tortola, Brit-
ish Virgin Islands, March 18, 1932. A mango
of medium size with green skin, a small seed,
and sweet yellow flesh without fiber but with
a turpentine flavor. The tree is a heavy
bearer and is introduced for comparison with
the ordinary ‘‘turpentine’’ mango now grow-
ing in Florida, as stock or for crossing
purposes.

98410. No. 3817. Turkey breast. From _ the
French side of St. Martin Island, March 17,
1932. A large thick mango with a suture
down one side, which gives it the appearance
of a turkey’s breast. The fruit is said to be

98399 to 98417—Continued.

fiberless, but as it was not ripe its quality
could not be judged, but it is evidently the
best mango of this region.

1932, on Tortola.

98411. No. 3818. Bullhead or Miss Niles. Scions
from a seedling tree 70 years old, on the
estate of J. S. W. Georges, at Bough Bay.
The large light-yellow fruits, up to a pound in
weight, have small seeds, light-yellow, very
juicy flesh with short fibers, and are not so
strong flavored as most mangoes.

98412. No. 3819. Cottage. Scions from an old
seedling tree 3 feet in diameter which was
loaded with both fruit and flowers. The
fruits are medium to small, very sweet, and
rather fibrous. Evidently a rather early sort,
which may have some character worth pre-
serving.

98413. No. 3826. Royal. Presented by Roy
Campbell, on whose place the tree was grow-
ing. A medium-sized seedling mango of scar-
let color, not very fibrous, and of good
flavor, but not the best. Its color will make
it a valuable variety for use in breeding work.

98414. No. 3831. Tortola seedling. From an old
seedling tree growing in the orchard plat at
the Tortola Experiment Station. The fruit
is said to be of good quality, somewhat acid,
and very juicy, with less fiber than the com-
mon type. The skin is yellow, overlaid with
a dark-red blush, similar in shape to the
Julie, but larger, as the fruits weigh from
three-fourths to 1 pound each.

98415. No. 3832. Rector or Boar hog. Collected
near Sea Cow Bay. A large sweet yellow fruit
with very little fiber. It is one of the largest-
fruited mangoes on the island and is probably
a midseason or late variety.

98416. No. 3833. Kidney. Collected near the
experiment station. The large. fruits are
said to be greenish yellow when ripe and one of
the best seedling mangoes on the island.

99289. BAMBUSA MULTIPLEX (Lour.)
Raeusch. Hedge bamboo.

From Florida. Plant presented by J. H. Wells,
Baldwin. Received May 15, 1929. Numbered
in May 1982.

This distichous, or fern-leaved, variety of the
hedge bamboo has slender culms with green stripes
of various widths on a yellowish to pinkish ground
color and is of dwarf habit, usually not more than
5 feet high. However, according to a statement by
C. E. Pleas, of Chipley, Fla., from whom Mr. Wells
obtained his original plant, the variety shows a
strong tendency to revert to the species type, in
which the leaves are much larger and fewer on the
branchlets, and culms up to 30 feet in height are
produced; the foliage then appears similar in form
to that of the well-known varieties Alphonse Karri
and Argentea striata. The new culms of this dwarf
variety usually appear during June and extend their
branches and leaves within a few weeks, differing
in these respects from the type and from the large-
growing varieties of the species.

INTRODUCTORY STATEMENT

Inventory no. 112 lists the introductions (nos. 100468-101157) received by the
Division of Foreign Plant Introduction during the period from July 1 to Septem-
ber 30, 1932. It records the further kindness of Maj. Lionel de Rothschild and the
Honorable Henry MacLaren in presenting additional seeds from the sixth Forrest
expedition to southwestern China.

Nos. 100724—100798, Solanum tuberosum, collected by C. O. Erlanson and H. G.
MaeMillan, represent ‘the last collection from that expedition to South America,
together with various miscellaneous collections (106688—-100709, 1007 13-100718,
100833—100837) gathered in the same territory.

The principal collections represent very large special collections made for
Department specialists, as, for example, two sugar co:lections, one from Charles
H. Thrall, Habana, Cuba (101115—-1011380), and one from the experiment station of
the Hawaiian Sugar Planters’ Association, Hawaii (101028—101057) ; forage plants,
chiefly grasses, from New Zealand (100660—100676), and from Wales (100678—
100681); a collection of cinchona, Guatemalan cuttings, from Colonel Ruehl
(100799—100832) ; and seeds purchased from the Hindustan Nursery Co., Calcutta,
India (100986—100988), and the Chandra Nursery, Rhenock, Sikkim State,
Bengal (101064).

The botanical determinations of these introductions have been made and the
nomenclature determined by the late H. C. Skeels,! who had general supervision
of this inventory.

2 It should be understood that the names of varieties of fruits, vegetables, cereals, and other plants used
in this inventory are those under which the material was received when introduced by the Division of
Foreign Plant Introduction, and, further, that the printing of such names here does not constitute their
official publication and adoption to this country. As the different varieties are studied, their entrance into
the American trade forecast, and the use of varietal names for them in American literature becomes neces-
sary, the foreign varietal designations appearing in this inventory will be subject to change with a view to
bringing the forms of the names into harmony with recognized horticultural nomenclature.

It is a well-known fact that botanical descriptions, both technical and economic, seldom mention the
Seeds at all and rarely describe them in such a way as to make possible identification from the seeds alone.
Many of the unusual plants listed in these inventories are appearing in this country for the first time, and
there are no seed samples or herbarium specimens with ripe seeds with which the new arrivals may be
compared. The only identification possible is to see that the sample received resembles seeds of other
Species of the same genus or of related genera. The responsibility for the identification, therefore, must
necessarily often rest with the person sending the material. If there is any question regarding the correct-
ness of the identification of any plant received from this division, herbarium specimens of leaves and flowers
should be sent in so that definite identification can be made.

100986. CINCHONA LEDGERIANA Moens.

A tree, native to the Andes, yielding a bark
remarkably rich in quinine which crystallizes
readily as quinine sulphate. The percentage of
the other alkaloids present is relatively small. The
bark of this species matures in the fifth or sixth
year and does not increase its quinine content
after that.

For previous introduction see 100114.
100987. CINCHONA OFFICINALIS L.

A small tree only 20 feet high, native to Peru
and Ecuador in the high valleys of the Andes. It
is now the most important species grown in the
Nilgiri Hills in India.

For previous introduction see 100117.
100988. CINCHONA SUCCIRUBRA Pavon.

The bark of this tree contains a large quantity
of alkaloids, of which a relatively large percentage
is einchonidine, which retards the separation of
the quinine as sulphate. The bark of this species
matures in the fourth or fifth year and does not
increase in quinine content thereafter.

INTRODUCTORY STATEMENT

Inventory no. 113 records the material received by the Division of Foreign
Plant Introduction between October 1 and December 31, 19382, a total of 427
numbers (101158-101584), part of which represents material for the use of the
Division and part for other divisions and agencies.

Although possibly not obvious to the uninformed reader, the great number of
entries of material from Robert M. Grey, superintendent of the Atkins Institution
of the Arnold Arboretum at Soledad, Cienfuegos, Cuba (101159-101162, 101212-
101215, 101243—101252, 101257, 101260—-101265, 101292—101295, 101435—-101437,
101462-101464), represent the growing interrelation of that garden and the
Department’s garden at Coconut Grove, Fla., from which considerable collections

__ of seeds and plants have gone to the garden at Soledad. By this interchange of

material each garden is able to increase its collection and study new plants under
different climatic conditions—a relation that is cordiaily appreciated.

Less conspicuous but as important are the contributions, from several sources,
of seeds and bulbs of various species of Alliwm, eventually intended for the use
of cooperating specialists in California, also of cats and cottons for Department

~ specialists.

The studies of bamboo are assisted by the accession of 5 numbers, 3 from a
French nursery and 2 from an old planting in Florida, all species or forms that
contribute to the studies of the difficult variations of this group.

Through the courtesy of Dr. H. Humbert, Muséum National d’Histoire
Naturelle, Paris, France, our succulent collection is increased by a collection of

species of Bryophyllum, Kalanchoe, and Kitchingia native to Madagascar

(101356—101374), for comparative study with previous introductions. From
France also, through Prof. D. Bois, of the Muséum National d’Histoire Naturelle,
Paris, was received a large collection of cuttings of Ficus species (101309-101343),
intended for the work with that genus now under way at Coconut Grove, Fla.
Unfortunately, this admirable collection was largely lost, as most of the cuttings
did not root.

In a miscellaneous collection of seeds sent by the courtesy of B. V. Skvortzow,
Harbin, Manchuria (101395-101406) are several interesting herbs, not spectacular
but of garden value. The Agastache rugosa is a nepetalike plant with a long period
of summer blooming; another, Scutellaria baicalensis, has much more showy
blue-purple flowers than any of its relatives grown here.

_ Although there are other collections of plants from that area, the two collections
from Edwin Ashby, Wittunga, Blackwood, South Australia (101195-101204,
101346-101354) contain seeds of 1 any interesting species and varieties of

45945—34——1

Ba PLANT MATERIAL INTRODUCED

Callistemon and Calothamnus. These are plants that have been recognized in .
California, but have not been as well tested in the Gulf States, although some
species seem more than promising within rather restricted areas.
The botanical determinations were made and the nomenclature determined by
the late H.C. Skeels,! who had general supervision of this inventory.

INVENTORY?

101158. NePpHELIUM LAPPACEUM UL.
Sapindaceae. Rambutan.

From Central America. Seeds presented by Wilson
Popenoe, research department, United Fruit Co.,
Tela, Honduras. Received October 6, 1932.

An erect stately tropical tree 35 to 40 feet high,
native to the Malay Archipelago and not yet ex-
tensively cultivated elsewhere. The compound
leaves are composed of 5 to7 pairs of elliptic, obovate

or oblong, glabrate leaflets about 4 inches long,

shining and dark green above, paler beneath. The
small flowers are in loose axillary and terminal pani-
eles. The fruits, which are produced in clusters of
10 or 12, are oval, about 2 inches in length, and
covered with soft fleshy spines less than an inch
long. They are crimson, somewhat greenish,

_ yellowish, or orange-yellow. The outer covering

from which the spines arise is thin and leathery
and is easily torn off, exposing the white translucent
flesh (aril) which adheres to the oblong and flattened
seed. The flavor is mild acid, somewhat suggesting
that of the grape.

2 It should be understood that the names of horticultural varieties of fruits, vegetables, cereals, and other
plants used in this inventory are those under which the material was received when introduced by the
Division of Foreign Plant Introduction, and, further, that the printing of such names here does not consti-
tute their official publication and adoption in this country. As the different varieties are studied, their
entrance into the American trade forecast, and the use of varietal names for them in American literature
becomes necessary, the foreign varietal designations appearing in this inventory will be subject to change
with a view to bringing the forms of the names into harmony with recognized horticultural nomenclature.

It is a well-known fact that botanical descriptions, both technical and economic, seldom mention the
seeds at all and rarely describe them in such a way as to make possible identification from the seeds alone.
Many of the unusual plants listed in these inventories are appearing in this country for the first time, and
there are no seed samples or herbarium specimens with ripe seeds with which the new arrivals may be
compared. The only identification possible is to see that the sample received resembles seeds of other
species of the same genus or of related genera. The responsibility for the identifications therefore must
necessarily often rest with the person sending the material. If there is any question regarding the correct-
ness of the identification of any plant received from this division, herbarium specimens of leaves and flowers
should be sent in so that definite identification can be made.

slender culms with green stripes of various widths |
on a yellowish or pinkish ground color and is of |
dwarf habit, usually not more than 5 feet high.
However, the variety shows a strong tendency to
revert to the species type, in which the leaves are
much longer and fewer on the branchlets, and
culms up to 30 feet high are produced. The
foliage then appears similar in form to that of the: }
well-known varieties Alphonse Karriand Argentea
striata. The new culms of this dwarf variety
usually appear during June and extend their |
branches and leaves within a few weeks, differing |
in these respects from the type and from the: |
large-growing varieties of the species.

INTRODUCTORY STATEMENT

The present Inventory, no. 114, records plant material received
by the Division of Plant Exploration and Introduction from
January 1 to March 31, 1933 (nos. 101585-102377).

Among the important projects included in the program of this
Division is the introduction of the deciduous fruit varieties now
grown commercially in various parts of the world. As a step in
the fulfillment of this program, several shipments of this type of
material were received during the period covered by this inventory.
Especially noteworthy are two lots of plants and scions from
Morocco (101806—101875, 102002—102062) ; these include indigenous
varieties of figs, olives, apricots, almonds, and grapes, all of which
are destined for trial in the subtropical areas of our West and
Southwest, where these fruits already form the basis of important
industries.

In considering the needs of the colder fruit-growing areas, men-
tion should be made of four lots of scions of apples and sour
cherries from the Scandinavian countries (nos. 101881—101890,
102126-102153, and 102164—-102180), and one lot of apple scions
from Poland (102369-102372). A large number of these are local
varieties that represent many years’ work in careful selection. From
eastern China, where the peach has been grown since the dawn of
elvilization, there is recorded a lot of 27 scions of peach varieties
(101663-101689) collected in small towns and villages where, in
many instances, a particular fruit variety is known only in a very
limited area. ; :

The nut-growing industry in the United States will be aided,
eventually, by the introduction of three lots of filberts (101706—

66902—34——1

2 PLANT MATERIAL INTRODUCED

101711, 101891-101902, and 102121-102125) from the Union of Soviet
Socialist Republics, and by 13 types of walnuts (102084—-102096)
from the same country. Attention should also be called to the in-
troduction of a collection of scions of what are said to be unusually
cold-resistant varieties of the Spanish chestnut from Czechoslovakia
(101610-101617). For the ultimate benefit of nut growers, but more
immediately for use in chestnut-blight investigations, there are re-
corded four lots of seed of different species of Castanea (101587-
101607, 101690-101692, 101982101991, and 102106-102111) received
from northeastern China. Most of these are (. mollissima, the Chi-
nese hairy chestnut, whose uatural resistance to chestnut blight has
led to its wide use in hybridizing experiments.

Plants suitable for growing in the colder and drier areas of the
western United States are constantly being sought by this division.
It is of interest, therefore, to note two shipments of plant material
received during this period from Manchuria. One of these, a collec-
tion of hardy forage grasses (101645-101660) from the prairie coun-
try near Harbin, Manchuria, introduced for Department specialists,
should prove of definite value for the colder areas of our stock-rais-
ing States. Another lot of plant material (102289-102309), received
also from Manchuria but including hardy trees and shrubs native
to many different parts of northeastern Asia, such as maples and
hollies from Chosen and northern Japan, will prove. interesting
additions to the introduced flora of-our colder regions. ~~

‘In the field of ornamentals, there are two large collections that
deserve special mention. These come from England and Scotland,
respectively (101736-101797 and 101923-101962) , and consist largely
of alpine perennials, including numerous species of such genera as
Anthemis, Aquilegia, and Dianthus. These are all intended for
testing at the plant introduction gardens of this Division.

The botanical determinations were made and the nomenclature
determined by the late H. C. Skeels,t who had general supervision of

this inventory.

2Tt should be understood that the names of horticultural varieties of fruits, vegetables,
cereals, and other plants used in this inventory are those under which the material was
teceived when introduced by the Division of Plant Exploration and Introduction, and,
further, that the printing of such names here does not constitute their official publica-
tion and adoption in this country. As the different varieties are studied, their entrance
into the American trade forecast, and the use of varietal namfes for them in American
literature becomes necessary, the foreign varietal designations appearing in this inven-
tory will be subject to change with a view to bringing the forms of the names into har-
mony with recognized horticultural nomenclature.

Bs G e ¥

It is a- well-known fact that botanical ‘descriptions, both technical and economic, seldom

Mention the-seeds at all-and-rarely, describe them in such a way as to make possible

identification fromm the seeds alone. Many of the unusual plants listed in these inven-
tories are appearing in this country for the first time, and there are no seed samples or
herbarium specimens with ripe seeds with which the new arrivals may be compared. The
only identification possible is to see that the sample received resembles seeds of other
species of the same genus or of related genera. The responsibility for the identifications
therefore must necessarily often rest with the person sending the material. If there is
any question regarding the correctness of the identification of any plant received fronr
this Division, herbarium specimens of leaves and flowers should be sent in so that definite
identification can be made.

INTRODUCTORY STATEMENT

In this Inventory, no. 115, is recorded the plant material introduced
by the Division of Plant Exploration and Introduction between April
1 and June 30, 1933, totaling 1,129 numbers (102378-103406).

The introduction of plants and scions of more than one hundred
named varieties of apples, peaches, apricots, and pears from Italy is
in continuation of the plan of the Division to bring into this country,
for testing by Government specialists, as many as possible of the com-
mercial deciduous-fruit varieties of Europe. Mention should be made
also of a collection of grape scions presented by the Biologische Reich-
sanstalt at Naumburg, Germany (nos. 102491-102512) ; these will be
tested in the far West and Southwest.

During March 1933, David Fairchild made a tour of several of the
islands of the West Indies, stopping also for a brief visit to the Canal
Zone. This trip was made possible through the continuing generosity
of Allison V. Armour, whose yacht, the Utowana, carried the expedi-
tion. Dr. Fairchild’s collections included cuttings and seeds of vari-
ous tropical and subtropical fruits, seeds of a number of rare palms,
and seeds or cuttings of numerous little-known ornamentals. Also
worthy of mention is a special collection of palms (nos. 103155-
103173) from Ceylon, presented by the Royal Botanic Garden at
Peradeniya.

Joseph Rock, for several years an agricultural explorer for this
Division, was traveling during this period through southwestern
China for the University of California Botanic Garden. Through
the courtesy of that institution, this Division received over 200 lots
of seeds collected by Dr. Rock. These included several apparently
new species of Berberis, Cassiope, Cotoneaster, Iris, Lilium, Nomo-
charis, Prunus, and Rosa.

> PLANT MATERIAL INTRODUCED

Through the kindness of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics,
a special collection of tubers of South American species of Solanum
(nos. 103028-103038) was received that will be of great value to
pathologists working with potato diseases. By this same coopera-
tion the Botanic Garden at Leningrad sent in 44 lots of seeds of
little-known hardy perennials and bulbous plants adapted for grow-
ing in the colder parts of the United States.

The north-central Plains region of the United States should bene-
fit from a shipment of seeds of very hardy vegetables grown between
40° and 45° north latitude in central Asia (nos. 102699-102727). In-

cluded in this lot of seed are onions, carrots, tomatoes, eggplants, |

and redpeppers.
The botanical determinations were made and the nomenclature

determined by the late H. C. Skeels,t who had general supervision of

this inventory. 3 Ae

For previous introduction see 100671.

2Tt should be understood that the names of horticultural varieties of fruits, vegetables,
cereals, and other piants used in this inventory are those under which the material was
| received when introduced by the Division of Plant Exploration and Introduction, and
_ further, that the printing of such names here does not constitute their official publica-
| tion and adoption in this country. As the different varieties are studied, their entrance
into the American trade forecast, and the use of varietal names for them in American
literature becomes necessary, the foreign varietal designations appearing in this inven-
tory will be subject to change with a view to bringing the forms of the names into
harmony with recognized horticultural nomenclature.

It is a well-known fact that botanical descriptions, both technical and economic, seldom
Mention the seeds at all and rarely describe them in such a way as to make possible
identification from the seeds alone. Many of the unusual plants listed in these inven-
tories are appearing in this country for the first time, and there are no seed samples or
herbarium specimens with ripe seeds with which the new arrivals may be compared. The
only identification possible is to see that the sample received resembles seeds of other
species of the same genus of related genera. The responsibility for the identifications,
therefore, must necessarily often rest with the person sending the material. If there is
any question regarding the correctness of the identification of any plant received from
| this Division, herbarium specimens of leaves and flowers should be sent in so that definite
} identification can be made.

INTRODUCTORY STATEMENT

This Inventory, no. 116, is a record of plant material received by
the Division of Plant Exploration and Introduction from July 1 to
September 30, 1933 (103407-103776).

The introductions listed may be grouped roughly according to the
nature of the material and the purpose for which it has been received.

Citrus growers in the West and Southwest will, it is hoped, benefit
through the introduction of scions of lemons, mandarins, and oranges
from Morocco (103554—-103579). These varieties have been developed
at the experiment station at Marrakech. Plants of two unusual
forms of grapefruit (Citrus grandis, 103603, 103604) are recorded
from the Society Islands. Included in a shipment of plant material
from northern India are seven lots of seeds of citrus fruits (103493-
103499); these were collected in little-known villages and may be
useful in breeding work.

In the field of deciduous fruits, mention should be made of an
introduction of trees of apples, almonds, and peaches from Natal,
South Africa (103750-103765). These will be tested in the mild-
wintered sections of the United States.

Plant pathologists working with wheat rust will be interested

2 PLANT MATERIAL INTRODUCED

under whose auspices Dr. J. F. Rock was once more exploring in that
part of China, this Division received seeds of a large number of trees,
shrubs, and herbaceous plants. Of similar nature is a lot of seeds of
trees and shrubs (103421-103439) collected in western China and
presented by the Bodnant Gardens of North Wales. _

The botanical determinations of these introductions were made
and the nomenclature determined by the late H. C. Skeels,’ who
had general supervision of this inventory. |

+ It should be understood that the names of varieties of fruits, vegetables, cereals, and other plants used
in this inventory are those under which the material was received when introduced by the Division of
Foreign Plant Introduction, and, further, that the printing of such names here does not constitute their
official publication and adoption in this country. As the different varieties are studied, their entrance
into the American trade foreeast, and the use of varietal names for them in American literature becomes
necessary, the foreign varietal designations appearing in this inventory will be subject to change with a
yiew to bringing the forms of the names into harmony with recognized horticultural nomenclature.

It is a well-known fact that botanical descriptions, both technical and economic, seldom mention the
seeds at all and rarely describe them in such a way as to make possible identification from the seeds alone.
Many of the unusual plants listed in these inventories are appearing in this country for the first time, and
there are no seed samples or herbarium specimens with ripe seeds with which the new arrivals may be
compared. The only identification possible is to see that the sample received resembles seeds of other
species of the same genus or of related genera. The responsibility for the identification, therefore, must
necessarily often rest with the person sending the material. If there is any question regarding the cor-
rectness of the identification of any plant received from this Division, herbarium specimens of leaves and
flowers should be sent in so that definite identification can be made.

INTRODUCTORY STATEMENT

Inventory no. 117 is a record of the plant material received by the
Division of Plant Exploration and Introduction from October 1 to
December 31, 1933 (nos, 103777-103988).

Although the total number of plants introduced during this period

is unusually low, there are, nevertheless, certain introductions that

deserve to be pointed out.
From the Department of Agriculture, Manila, P. I., there was

_ received a collection of rice varieties (nos. 103854-103859) reported

to be resistant to stem rot, and a special collection of rye selections
(nos. 103953—103969) was presented by the Institute of Plant Industry

at Leningrad. ‘Twenty-two varieties of wheat, representing selections
_ that have proved very resistant to leaf rust (nos. 103805-103826) were

received from the experiment farm at Glen Innes, New South Wales,
Australia. |
In the field of deciduous fruits there should be mentioned a collec-

_ tion of locally grown varieties of peaches, apricots, and plums (nos.
_ 103797—-103803) presented by the agricultural officer of the Northwest
_ Frontier Province, India. In this temperate mountainous region, the

most northerly Province of British India, deciduous fruits have been

| grown for centuries.

Interest in rock gardening in the United States continues very

_ strong, and for that reason a collection of 40 species of native Japa-

2Tt should be understood that the names of varieties of fruits, vegetables, cereals, and
other plants used in this inventory are those under which the material was received
when introduced by the Division of Plant Exploration and Introduction, and, further,
that the printing of such names here does not constitute their official publication and
adoption in this country. As the different varieties are studied, their entrance into the
American trade forecast, and the use of varietal names for them in American literature
becomes necessary, the foreign varietal designations appearing in this inventory will be
subject to change with a view to bringing the forms of the names into harmony with
recognized horticultural nomenclature.

Tt is a well-known fact that botanical descriptions, both technical and economic, seldom
mention the seeds at all and rarely describe them in such a way as to make possible
identification from the seeds alone. Many of the unusual plants listed in these inven-
tories are appearing in this country for the first time, and there are no seed samples or
herbarium specimens with ripe seeds with which the new arrivals may be compared. The
only identification possible is to see that the sample received resembles seeds of other
species of the same genus or of related genera. The reSponsibility for the identifications
therefore must necessarily often rest with the person sending the material. If there is
any question regarding the correctness of the identification of any plant received from
this Division, herbarium specimens of leaves and flowers should be sent in so that definite
identification can be made. 3

INTRODUCTORY STATEMENT

Inventory 118 lists the introductions (nos. 103989-105035) _ re-
ceived by the Division of Plant Exploration and Introduction dur-
ing the period from January 1 to March 31, 1934. Nearly all
types of economic plants are represented, but certain introductions
are worthy of special mention as continuations of projects now in
progress within the Bureau.

Two lots of chestnut scions (nos. 104000-104009, 104057-104064)
from northern China, representing three native Chinese species of
Castanea, and a shipment of Japanese chestnut seeds (Castanea
crenata, nos. 104014-104021) will be used by Department specialists
in breeding experiments incidental to the chestnut- -blight investiga-
tions.

Noteworthy also are several rather large introductions of scions
and young plants of deciduous-fruit varieties. ‘These include two
lots of apples, pears, apricots, and peaches from Italy (nos. 104022—
104056, 104483-104555), one of grapes, plums, and cherries (nos.
104281104314) from Morocco, and one of apples, pears, and cher-
ries (nos. 104776104836) from Sweden. These are destined to be
grown by Department specialists for comparison with varieties now
growing in the United States.

Seeds of three lots of hardy shrubs and perennials (nos. 104345-
104378, 104837-104851, and 104852104864), mostly from eastern
Asia, were presented respectively by the botanic gardens at Edin-
burgh, Kew, and Cambridge. These will be tested in the colder
parts of the country. Among them are included some species that
may be of particular interest in the planting problems of our more
arid sections.

2 PLANT MATERIAL INTRODUCED

The interests of specialists working with lespedezas in a botan-
ical review of the genus are recorded by the following numbers
from Chosen, Japan, and Austria (nos. 104065-104067, 104068 and
104069, also 104669- 104672). <A collection of legumes from the Bel-
pian Congo (nos. 104070-104102) was presented by the Director of
the experiment station at Kisozi, Ruanda-Urundi Territory, as of
possible use in the extreme South,

The interests of plant breeders are shown by the numerous im-
portations of delphiniums (nos. 104351104369, 104570-104573,
104847104851, 104890-104895, 104939-104943, and 104950-104953),
of antirrhinums (nos. 104557, 104924, 104925, 104948, and 104949),
and of althaeas (nos. 104636, 104837104839, and 104921104925)
for breeding experiments with rust-resistant strains, of digitalis
(nos. 104574-104576, 104896-104898, and 104954104960) for botan-
ical review, and of salvias (nos. 104581-104592 and 104651-104658)
for horticultural examination and testing.

Many palm species (nos, 104213-104216, 104331104336, 104338-
104343, 104679-104704) have been presented by the botanic gardens
of Peradeniya, Trinidad, Georgetown, etc., to assist in the building
up of the palm collection at the Coconut Grove Garden, where a
valuable collection is already established.

The botanical determinations have been made and the nomen-
clature determined by Paul Russell, ao has had general supervision
of this inventory.

The marketing season is about 6
weeks long.

17t should be understood that the names of varieties of fruits, vegetables, cereals, and
other plants used in this inventory are those under which the material was received when
introduced by the Division of Plant Exploration and Introduction, and, further, that the
printing of such names here does not constitute their official publication and adoption in
this country. As the different varieties are studied, their entrance into the American
trade forecast, and the use of varietal names for them in American literature becomes
necessary, the foreign varietal designations appearing in this inventory will be subject to

change with a view to bringing the forms of the names into harmony with recognized
horticultural nomenclature.

It is a well-known fact that botanical descriptions, both technical and economic, seldom
mention the seeds at all and rarely describe them in such a way as to make possible identi-
fication from the seeds alone. Many of the unusual plants listed in these inventories are
appearing in this country for the first time, and there are no seed samples or herbarium
Specimens with ripe seeds with which the new arrivals may be compared. ‘The only iden-
tification possible is to see that the sample received resembles seeds of other species of the
Same genus or of related genera. The responsibility for the identifications therefore must
necessarily often rest with the person sending the material. If there is any question

regarding the correctness of the identification of any plant received from this Division,
pene epecimens of leaves and flowers should be sent in so that definite identification
n be made.

INTRODUCTORY STATEMENT

The present inventory, no. 119, is a record of the plant introduc-
tions (nos. 105036-105982) received by the Division of Plant Ex-
_ ploration and Introduction during the period from April 1 to June

30, 1934.

Conspicuous among the introductions listed are several large ship-
__ ments of scions and plants of deciduous fruit varieties, chiefly from
Kurope; these will be grown for comparison with our present com-
mercial varieties, in continuation of a plan inaugurated by this
Division a few years ago. The countries of origin are Norway,
Lithuania, the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, Italy, Spain,
and Australia; and the kinds of fruit included are apples, pears,
peaches, nectarines, cherries, apricots, grapes, figs, and olives.

Pathologists working with potato diseases will be interested in
a lot of tubers of reputedly wart-immune potato varieties (nos.
105478105482) presented by the Norwegian Agricultural High
School at Aas, Norway. The introduction from Turkey of two lots
cf seeds of native vegetable varieties (nos. 105258-105268, 105442—
105447) and another lot of similar nature from China (nos. 105332-—
| 105347) indicates a growing interest in the testing of locally
_ developed foreign vegetable varieties in the United States. These
_ three lots include onions, beets, celery, carrots, tomatoes, and
peppers.

From central and western China there is recorded a shipment of
seeds of hardy plants (nos. 105311-105331), including relatives of
several of our well-known American trees and shrubs, such as hack-
perries, hollies, etc. These will be tested in the moderately cold sec-
| tions of the country. Two shipments of somewhat similar nature

71562—36——1

2; PLANT MATERIAL INTRODUCED

were received from the University of Nanking (nos. 105584-105645
and 105676-105706); these were collected in Kwangsi Province,
southern China. Many types of woody plants are represented, in-
cluding several wild species of Hicus, Rubus, and Viburnum.

Sixty lots of seeds from northern India (nos. 105873—-105932),
collected by Dr. Walter Koelz and presented through the Univer-
sity of Michigan, include many rare woody and herbaceous plants
from high altitudes in the Himalayas, among them being several
species of Clematis, Cotoneaster, Rhododendron, and Rosa.

The botanical determinations have been made and the nomen-
clature determined by Paul Russell, who has had general super-
vision of this inventory.

From England. Plants purchased from
Ernest Ballard, Old Court, Colweil, near
Malvern. Received April 12, 1934.

17t should be understood that the names of varieties of fruits, vegetables, cereals, and
other plants used in this inventory are those under which the material was received when
introduced by the Division of Plant Exploration and Introduction, and further, that the
printing of such names here does not constitute their official publication and adoption in
this country. As the different varieties are studied, their entrance into the American
trade forecast, and the use of varietal names for them in American literature becomes
necessary, the foreign varietal designations appearing in this inventory will be subject to
change with a view to bringing the forms of the names into harmony with recognized
horticultural nomenclature.

It is a well-known fact that botanical descriptions, both technical and economic, seldom
mention the seeds at all and rarely describe them in such a way as to make possible identi-
fication from the seeds alone. Many of the unusual plants listed in these inventories are
appearing in this country for the first time, and there are no seed samples or herbarium
specimens with ripe seeds with which the new arrivals may be compared. The only iden-
tification possible is to see that the sample received resembles seeds of other species of the
Same genus or of related genera. The responsibility for the identifications, therefore, must
necessarily often rest with the person sending the material. If there is any question
regarding the correctness of the identification of any plant received from this Division.

herbarium specimens of leaves and flowers should be sent in so that definite identification
ean be made.

INTRODUCTORY STATEMENT

This inventory, No. 120, is a record of the plant material received by the
Division of Plant Exploration and Introduction from July 1 to September 30,
1934 (nos. 105933-106569).

Particular attention should be called to the introduction of seeds of 135
wheat crosses from Australia (nos. 10602G6—-106053, 10614G—106180, 1061S3—106188,
106192106229, 106295—-106310, 106315—-106326), presented by the Director of Plant
Breeding, Sydney, New South Wales. These crosses, in which American vari-
eties appear frequently as one of the parents, were made chiefly at the Wagga
Experiment Farm, Bomen, and their introduction into this country is a con-
tribution to the plant materials available to Department specialists.

Also worthy of special note, and from the same part of the world, are seeds
of an interesting lot of dry-land plants, including several native forage grasses
(nos. 106467—106482). These were collected in semiarid central Australia and
will be tested in the drier portions of the United States where the winters are
not too severe. A number of forage grasses from desert regions likewise are
included in a collection of miscellaneous seeds from South Africa (nos. 106073-—
106100), presented by the McGregor Museum at Kimberley, Cape Colony.

Tubers of 25 native Peruvian varieties of the potato (nos. 106890—-106414)
were presented by the Hstacion Experimental Agricola, La Molina, Lima.
Coming as these do from the general region where the potato is believed to
have had its origin, this lot of tubers will have especial interest for plant

_ breeders.

The Director of the Station Experimentale de Kisozi, Ruanda-Urundi, Africa,
has sent in seeds (nos. 106452-106461) of native leguminous plants, suitable
for testing as cover crops in the southern United States. All of these, with
one exception, appear never before to have been introduced into this country.

The botanical determinations have been made and the nomenclature deter-
mined by Paul Russell, who has had general supervision of this inventory.

1Tt should be understood that the names of varieties of fruits, vegetables, cereals, and.

other plants used in this inventory are those under which the material was received when
introduced by the Division of Plant Exploration and Introduction, and, further, that the
printing of such names here does not constitute their official publication and adoption in.
this country. As the different varieties are studied, their entrance into the American
trade forecast, and the use of varietal names for them in American literature becomes
necessary, the foreign varietal designations appearing in this inventory will be subject to
change with a view to bringing the forms of the names into harmony with recognized
horticultural nomenclature.

It is a well-known fact that botanical descriptions, both technical and economic, seldom
mention the seeds at all and rarely describe them in such a way as to make possible identi-
fication from the seeds alone. Many of the unusual plants listed in these inventories are.
appearing in this country for the first time, and there are no seed samples or herbarium.
specimens with ripe seeds with which the new arrivals may be compared. The only iden-.
tification possible is to see that the sample received resembles seeds of other species of the
same genus or of related genera. The responsibility for the identification, therefore, must
necessarily often rest with the person sending the material. If there is any question
regarding the correctness of the identification of any plant received from this Division,
herbarium specimens of leaves and flowers should be sent in so that definite identification
can be made.

INTRODUCTORY STATEMENT

This inventory, No. 121, records the plant material (Nos. 106561—-107747) re-
ceived by the Division of Plant Exploration and Introduction during the period
from Octobex 1 to December 31, 1934. Much of this material may be credited to
the agricultural exploring expeditions that were in the field, all of which were
engaged in special projects for the Department.

Of the nearly 2,000 lots of seeds coliected by Messrs. Westover and Enlow, a
large proportion are from regions in Turkistan and Turkey where the low winter

temperatures and scanty rainfall make it appear probable that plants growing
| under those conditions would be able to withstand the similar climatic conditions
in many parts of our Western and Southwestern States. The plant material
_ collected, which consists largely of grasses, leguminous plants, and local strains
of vegetables, will also be useful, in large part, for the replanting of areas
_ denuded by erosion.
| Similar comments may be made on the results of the Asiatic expedition con-
| ducted by H. G. MacMillan and J. L. Stephens, as the result of which about 60
' lots of seeds and plants of grasses and other forage plants were introduced.
Through the courtesy of the Botanical Institute at Ashkhabad, Turkmenistan,
| Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, the Bureau received 83 lots of seeds, mostly
grasses and leguminous perennials and shrubs, and including several species
never before introduced (Nos. 106828106838, 106842-106918). Judging from their
native habitat, many of these should be of use in the western and southwestern
' sections of the United States.
| An expedition to the Balkan countries, made by Dr. Edgar Anderson, of the
Arnold Arboretum, Jamaica Plain, Mass., resulted in the introduction of 33 lots
‘of seeds of ornamental trees and shrubs (Nos. 107622-107644, 107720-107729).
While many of these already are known in cultivation, the fact that the seeds
were taken from plants growing in unusually cold, dry situations will, it is
\believed, extend northward their possible growing range in this country.
Many Australian plants have become acclimated to southern California and
jother parts of the Southwest. That part of the United States should benefit,

9 PLANT MATERIAL INTRODUCED

ultimately, through the introduction of 51 lots of seeds from New South Wales
(Nos. 106672-106723), presented by Albert Morris, of Broken Hill. These in-
clude browsing plants of the genera Acacia and Atriplex, and several new or
little-known shade trees and ornamental shrubs.

The botanical determinations of seeds have been made and the nomenclature
determined by Paul Russell, who has had general supervision of this inventory.

Ama-

1It should be understood that the names of varieties of fruits, vegetables, cereals, and
| other plants used in this inventory are those under which the material was received when

introduced by the Division of Plant Exploration and Introduction. and, further, that the
printing of such names here does not constitute their official publication and adoption in
this country. As the different varieties are studied, their entrance into the American
trade forecast, and the use of varietal names for them in American literature becomes
necessary, the foreign varietal designations appearing in this inventory will be subject to
'change with a view to bringing the forms of the names into harmony with recognized
horticultural nomenclature.

Tt is a well-known fact that botanical descriptions, both technical and economic, seldom
mention the seeds at all and rarely describe them in such a way as to make possible iden-
tification from the seeds alone. Many of the unusual plants listed in these inventories
are appearing in this country for the first time, and there are no seed samples or herbarium
specimens with ripe seeds with which the new arrivals may be compared. The only iden-
tification possible is to see that the sample received resembles seeds of other species of the
Same genus or of related genera. The responsibility for the identification, therefore,
must necessarily often rest with the person sending the material. If there is any question
| regarding the correctness of the identification of any piant received from this Division,
|, herbarium specimens of leaves and flowers should be sent in so that definite identification
| can be made.

INTRODUCTORY STATEMENT

The present inventory, No. 122, is a record of the plant material
(Nos. 107748-110197) received by the Division of Plant Exploration
and Introduction during the period from January 1 to March 31, 1935.

Nearly one-half of the plant material recorded for this period was
received from H. L. Westover and C. R. Enlow, of the Bureau of
Plant Industry, who were still in the field, and whose expedition to
the cold semiarid regions of Turkistan has resulted in the introduction
of plant material of particular value for the Soil Conservation Serv-
ice of this Department. This material will be tested in our Western
and Southwestern States.

As a result of agricultural explorations carried on by W. A. Archer
in Surinam and Venezuela during the early part of 1935, about 150
lots of seeds were sent in from those countries. The material col-
lected by Dr. Archer included a number of leguminous plants of
probable value as cover crops, local varieties of vegetables and tropi-
cal fruits, and several ornamental shrubs and trees destined for test-
ing in southern Fiorida.

Large areas of eastern Ecuador are practically unknown, from a
botanical point of view, and it is, therefore, with considerable interest
that mention is made of five shipments of seeds collected in this area
by the late Mrs. Ynes Mexia. Among the various items received were
seeds of several species of Juglans, Diospyros, and Datura.

Further additions to chestnut material intended for the use of forest
pathologists are recorded in three shipments of scions and seeds of

Castanea spp., from eastern China, collected by Peter Liu, from whom,

during the past decade, much Chinese plant material has been re-

ceived. Mr. Liu also sent in scions of a number of new or little-known

varieties of Diospyros kaki (Nos. 107775-107778; 108311, 108312).
136008—39——1

D, PLANT MATERIAL INTRODUCED

A collection of walnut varieties, Juglans spp. (Nos. 110021-110051),
obtained from Islington, Ontario, Canada, is for testing in the colder
parts of the United States. Noteworthy also is a shipment of nearly
100 lots of tubers of frost-resistant potato varieties (Nos. 108120-
108215), presented by the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. |

The botanical determinations of seeds introduced have been made
and the nomenclature determined by Paul Russell, who has had general
supervision of this inventory.

1Tt should be understood that the names of varieties of fruits, vegetables, cereals, and
other plants used in this inventory are those under which the material was received when
introduced by the Division of Plant Exploration and Introduction, and, further, that the
printing of such names here does not constitute their official publication and adoption in
this country. As the diferent varieties are studied, their entrance into the American
trade forecast, and the use of varietal names for them in American literature becomes
necessary, the foreign varietal designations appearing in this inventory will be subject to
change with a view to bringing the forms of the names into harmony with recognized
horticultural nomenclature.

It is a well-known fact that botanical descriptions, both technical and economic, seldom
mention the seeds at all and rarely describe them in such a way as to make possible identi-
fication from the seeds alone. Many of the unusual plants listed in these inventories are
appearing in this country for the first time, and there are no seed samples or herbarium
specimens with ripe seeds with which the new arrivals may be compared. The only iden-
tification possible is to see that the sample received resembles seeds of other species of the
same genus or of related genera. The responsibility for the identifications therefore must
necessarily often rest with the person sending the material. If there is any question
regarding the correctness of the identification of any plant received from this Division,
herbarium specimens of leaves and flowers should be sent in so that definite identification
can be made.

INTRODUCTORY STATEMENT
This inventory, No. 123, records the plant material (Nos. 110198

_ to 111857) received by the Division of Plant Exploration and Intro-

|

duction during the period from April 1 to June 30, 1935.

As a direct result of the agricultural explorations carried on m
central Asia by H. L. Westover and C. R. Enlow, of the Bureau of
Plant Industry, the Department received nearly 500 lots of seeds from
the Institute of Plant Industry, Leningrad, Union of Soviet Socialist
Republics. One particular shipment (Nos, 111477-111585) consisted
almost wholly of distinct local strains of forage grasses; another ship-
ment (Nos. 111605-111685) was made up entirely of local strains of
alfalfa and other species of Afedicago. ‘This material is intended pri-
marily for the use of the specialists of the Soil Conservation Serv-
ice of this Department, and will be tested in the colder and drier
sections of the West.

During the summer of 1935, W. A. Archer was still collecting in
northern South America and, during the period covered by this in-
ventory, nearly 200 lots of seeds were sent in by him, mostly from
Colombia. As before, leguminous plants occupied a conspicuous
place in these collections, “while the markets of small villages and
towns yielded seeds of numerous local strains of vegetabies and fruits
that will be tested in the vegetable-breeding program for our South-
ern States.

Kighty-three lots of grasses (Nos. 111249-111331), including sev-
eral not before introduced into the United States, were presented by
the Jardin Botanique de Université de Cluj, Rumania. Grasses also
constituted the greater part of 37 lots of seeds from Australia (Nos.
110518-110555), presented by the Division of Plant Industry,
Canberra.

2 PLANT MATERIAL INTRODUCED

The introduction of nearly 50 species and varieties of Aldiwm from
widely scattered sources throughout the globe is a result of an at-
tempt to assemble and grow all available members of this hitherto
much-neglected genus. These will, of course, be of value to vegetable
breeders interested in the close relatives of those species commonly
grown for food, but their introduction will also bring about a more |
definite knowledge concerning the ornamental value of many little-
known species.

Several apparently new species of Prunus and Solanum are re-
corded in a shipment of 58 lots of seeds presented by A. H. Lee, Kulu,
Punjab, India (Nos. 111764—-111821), along with a considerable num-
ber of new perennial and woody plants of ornamental value, mostly |
from the temperate highlands of northern India. Two other ship-
ments of new or rare, mostly woody, plants from western China also
should be noted: One of 12 lots (Nos. 111737-111748), presented by |
Lord Aberconway, Tal-y-Cafn, North Wales; the other of 53 lots of |
seeds (Nos. 111349 to 111401) from H. H. Chung, National Wu-Han
University, Hupeh, China.

The botanical determinations of seeds introduced have bea made
and the nomenclature determined by Paul Russell, who has had gen-
eral supervision of this inventory.

1It should be understood that the names of varieties of fruits, vegetables, cereals, and
other plants used in this inventcry are those under whieh the material was received when
introduced by the Division of Plant Exploration and Introduction, and further, that the
printing of such names here does not constitute their official publication and adoption in
this country. As the diiferent varieties are studied, their entrance into the American
trade forecast, and the use ol varietal names for them in American literature becomes
necessary, the foreign varietal designations appealing in this inventory will be subject to
change with a view to bringing the forms of the names into harmony with recognized
horticultural nomenclature.

It is a well-known fact that botanical descriptions, both technical and economic, seldom
mention the seeds at all and rarely describe them in such a way as to make possible iden7i-
fication from the seeds alone. Many of the unusual plants listed in these inventories are
appearing in this country for the first time, and there are no seed samples or herbarium
specimens with ripe seeds with which the new arrivals may be compared. The only iden-
tification possible is to see that the sample received resembles seeds of other species of the
Same genus or of related genera. The responsibility for the identifications, therefore, must
necessarily often rest with the person sending the material. If there is any question
regarding the correctness of the identification of any plant received from this Division,
perbariam pbecuiens of leaves and flowers should be sent in so that definite identification
ean be made.

INTRODUCTORY STATEMENT

This inventory, No. 124, records the plant material (Nos. 111858 to
112306) received by the Division of Plant Exploration and Intro-
duction during the period from July 1 to September 30, 1935.

In order to assist Department pathologists who are attempting to
develop disease-resistant tobacco varieties for the United States, W. A.
Archer spent several months traveling through Mexico, collecting
seeds of all available types of cultivated tobacco from many widely
separated sections in that country.

A special collection of desert shrubs and perennials (Nos. 112043
to 112051) from the Repetek Sand Desert Station, sent in as the
result of the agricultural explorations of H. L. Westover and C. R.
Enlow, are for testing by specialists in the Soil Conservation Serv-
ice of this Department.

Mrs. Ynes Mexia,! to whom the Department has been indebted for a
number of rare plants from eastern Ecuador, was still carrying on
botanical explorations in that country during the autumn of 1935.
Included in four shipments of seeds sent in by Mrs. Mexia were two
lots of local alfalfa varieties (Medicago satiwa, Nos. 111968 and
112216) and several rare ornamentals. :

Ten shipments of peanut varieties, introduced from Brazil, Uru-
guay, and the Union of South Africa, and representing local strains
developed in those countries, are intended for the use of plant breeders
who are attempting to develop better oil-producing varieties.

From Auckland, New Zealand, H. R. Wright sent in to the Depart-
ment plants of 13 fruit varieties, including new local forms of peach,

2 PLANT MATERIAL INTRODUCED

apple, pear, oriental persimmon, and mandarin orange (Nos. 112053-
112065). These, of course, are destined for trial in the Southern
States and the Pacific coast, where some of Mr. Wright’s earlier intro-
ductions have already become successfully established.

The tropical hibiscus, one of the characteristic ornamental plants
of the warmer parts of both the Old World and the New World, suc-
ceeds outdoors throughout most of Florida, where it is one of the
most popular dooryard plants. It is of special interest to Florida
gardeners, therefore, to record the introduction of a collection of 28
hibiscus varieties from Puerto Rico (Nos. 111886-111913). These
are the results of crosses made by T. B. McClelland while at the
Puerto Rico Agricultural Experiment Station at Mayaguez.

The botanical determinations of seeds introduced have been made
and the nomenclature determined by Paul Russell, who has had gen-
eral supervision of this inventory.

2Tt should be understood that the names of varieties of fruits, vegetables, cereals, and

other plants used in this inventory are those under which the material was received when
introduced by the Division of Plant Exploration and Introduction, and, further, that the
printing of such names here does not constitute their official publication and adoption in
this country. As the different varieties are studied, their entrance into the American
trade forecast, and the use of varietal names for them in American literature becomes
necessary, the foreign varietal designations appearing in this inventory will be subject to
change with a view to bringing the forms of the names into harmony with recognized
horticultural nomenclature.

It is a well-known fact that botanical descriptions, both technical and economic, seldom
mention the seeds at all and rarely describe them in such a way as to make possible identi-
fication from the seeds alone. Many of the unusual plants listed in these inventories are
appearing in this country for the first time ,and there ar eno seed samples or herbarium
specimens with ripe seeds with which the new arrivals may be compared. The only iden-
tification possible is to see that the sample received resembles seeds of other species of the
Same genus or of related genera. The responsibility for the identification, therefore, must
necessarily often rest with the person sending the material. If there is any question
regarding the correctness of the identification of any plant received from this Division,
2 een of leaves and flowers should be sent in so that definite identification
can be made.

INTRODUCTORY STATEMENT

This inventory, No. 125, is a record of plant material received by
the Division of Plant Exploration and Introduction from October 1
to December 31, 1935 (Nos. 112307 to 113512).

Particular mention should be made of the introduction from
Oceania of 143 lots of sugarcane cuttings (Nos. 112861 to 113003).
These were collected by EK. W. Brandes, Bureau of Plant Industry,
and represent distinct native strains developed in New Caledonia, New
Hebrides, and other Pacific islands. This introduction is a continu-
ation of a worldwide search for mosaic-resistant varieties that already
has made possible the development of superior commercial varieties
for Louisiana and western Puerto Rico, and in the past few years
it has increased sugar production for those areas from 46,000 tons
to about 500,000 tons per year.

A closely related project is one concerned with the genetics of the
sugar beet. Additional source material for this project is recorded
in the introduction through G. H. Coons, of the Bureau of Plant
Industry, of 193 lots of beet varieties (Beta spp.; Nos. 112398 to
112590) from Portugal, Germany, and other parts of continental
Europe, and from the Canary and Madeira Islands.

Several lots of seeds of cultivated tobacco were received from
Colombia, where Raymond Stadelman of the Bureau of Plant In-
dustry was engaged in collecting as many as possible of the local
strains grown in the more isolated parts of that country. At the same
time W. A. Archer, mentioned in the preceding inventory, continued
to send in seed of tobacco varieties from Mexico. These introductions
are intended, as has already been pointed out in Inventory No. 124,
for the use of Department pathologists seeking to develop disease-
resistant tobacco varieties for the United States.

2 PLANT MATERIAL INTRODUCED

Rice growers will note with interest the recording of a special
collection of Korean varieties (Nos. 118418 to 113435), presented by
the Laboratory of Plant Pathology at Fukuoka, Japan.

The botanical determinations of seeds introduced have been made
and the nomenclature determined by Paul Russell, who has had
general supervision of this inventory.

1TIt should be understood that the names of varieties of fruits, vegetables, cereals, and
other plants used in this inventory are those under which the material was received when
introduced by the Division of Plant Exploration and Introduction, and, further, that the
printing of such names here does not constitute their official publication and adoption in
this country. As the different varieties are studied, their entrance into the American
trade forecast, and the use of varietal names for them in American literature becomes
necessary, the foreign varietal designations appearing in this inventory will be subject to
change with a view to bringing the forms of the names into harmony with recognized
horticultural nomenclature.

It is a well-known fact that botanical descriptions, both technical and economic, seldom
mention the seeds at all and rarely describe them in such a way as to make possible identi-
fication from the seeds alone. Many of the unusual plants listed in these inventories are
appearing in this country for the first time, and there are no seed samples or herbarium
Specimens with ripe seeds with which the new arrivals may be compared. The only iden-
tification possible is to see that the sample received resembles seeds of other species of the
Same genus or of related genera. The responsibility for the identification, therefore, must
necessarily often rest with the person sending the material. If there is any question
regarding the correctness of the identification of any plant received from this Division,
Seen specimens of leaves and flowers should be sent in so that definite identification
can be made.

1It should be understood that the names of varieties of fruits, vegetables, cereals, and
other plants used in this inventory are those under which the material was received when
introduced by the Division of Plant Exploration and Introduction, and, further, that the
printing of such names here does not constitute their official publication and adoption in
this country. As the different varieties are studied, their entrance into the American
trade forecast, and the use of varietal names for them in American literature becomes
necessary, the foreign varietal designations appearing in this inventory will be subject to
change with, a view to bringing the forms of the names into harmony with recognized
horticultural nomenclature.

It is a well-known fact that botanical descriptions, both technical and economic, seldom
Mention the seeds at all and rarely describe them in such a way as to make possible identi-
fication from the seeds alone. Many of the unusual plants listed in these inventories are
appearing in this country for the first time, and there are no seed samples or herbarium
specimens with ripe seeds with which the new arrivals may be compared. The only iden-
tification possible is to see that the sample received resembles seeds of other species of the
Same genus or of related genera. The responsibilty for the identifications, therefore, must
necessarily often rest with the person sending the material. If there is any question
regarding the correctness of the identification of any plant received from this Division,
Pere peuCCmens of leaves and flowers should be sent in so that definite identification
can be made,

INTRODUCTORY STATEMENT

This inventory, No. 127, records the plant material (Nos. 1143814-
116965) received by the Division of Plant Exploration and Intro-
duction during the period from April 1 to June 30, 1936.

More than 2,600 introductions mark this second quarter of 19836;
a large percentage of these are the result of the activities of three
agricultural explorers who were in the field at that time.

Walter Koelz was traveling in India from Ceylon north through
the Bombay Presidency and the United Provinces to the Punjab and
the North West Frontier Province, with the definite object of col-
lecting material for the fruit- and vegetable-breeding projects of the
Bureau. He visited many villages and small towns, collecting from
native markets and local garden plots seeds of all available types
of fruits and vegetables, with notes of their special characteristics
and local uses.

In Mexico, W. A. Archer covered the territory from the south-
eastern State of Tabasco through Veracruz and northward to the
State of Durango, collecting seeds of local strains of tobacco. At the
same time Raymond Stadelman was carrying on a similar type of
exploration in Peru and Kcuador, where he collected not only com-
mon tobacco but also closely related species of Nicotiana which have
since proved of unusual interest to our plant breeders working for
disease-resistant tobacco strains.

Through the courtesy of the Royal Botanic Gardens at Kew,
England, 111 lots of cowpeas (Vigna sinensis, Nos. 115666 to 115776),
representing native strains from Ceylon, Mauritius, and Africa, were
received. ‘These have proved of interest chiefly from the genetical
standpoint. The African forms came originally from the Anglo-

242974411

MY PLANT MATERIAL INTRODUCED

Egyptian Sudan, Kenya Colony, Egypt, Rhodesia, Nigeria, and
other parts of tropical Africa.

Two large shipments from central and southwestern China, pre-
sented by the Botanic Garden Division of the Sun Yat-Sen Tomb and
Memorial Park Commission, Nanking (Nos. 114700-114823; 116115-
116157), were recorded during this period. These represent seeds of
166 species, largely trees and shrubs, many of which are being intro- |
duced for the first time. In climatic requirements these range from
subtropical to north temperate, coming as they do from widely differ-
ing regions, and for that reason will be tested in various parts of the
South and the Southwest.

Rice breeders will benefit from the introduction of 121 lots of seeds
(Oryza sativa, Nos. 116332-116452) presented by the Rice Research
Station, Department of Agriculture, Yanco, New South Wales.
These represent recent promising crosses made at that station.

The Department is indebted to the Union of Soviet Socialist Re-
publics for several shipments of plant material, among which three
deserve special mention. The Zhitomir Plant Breeding Station pre-
sented roots of 22 special types of hops (Hwmulus lupulus, Nos.
115107-115128) ; these are to be tested in the Northwestern States for
disease-resistance and for comparison with commonly grown types.
The Director of the Botanic Garden at Samara sent in seeds of 149
Russian varieties of vegetables, including beets, peppers, cucumbers,
watermelons, tomatoes, Deans, and peas (Nos. 115141-115289). These
have been developed in regions of low winter temperatures, so will
be particularly useful to our government plant breeders. The third
shipment, presented by the Institute of Plant Industry at Leningrad
(Nos. 1153820-115416), consists of local selections of forage plants,
including both leguminous plants and grasses, obtained originally
from all parts of the Soviet Union.

The botanical determinations of seeds introduced have been made
and the nomenclature determined by Paul Russell, who has had
general supervision of this inventory.

1 It should be understood that the names of varieties of fruits, vegetables, cereals, and
other plants used in this inventory are those under which the material was received when
introduced by the Division of Plant Exploration and Introduction, and further, that the
printing of such names here does not constitute their official publication and adoption in
this country. As the differerit varieties are studied, their entrance into the American
trade forecast, and the use of varietal names for them in American literature becomes
necessary, the foreign varietal designations apppearing in this inventory will be subject to
change with a view to bringing the forms of the names into harmony with recognized
horticultural nomenclature. ;

It is a well-known fact that botanical descriptions, both technical and economic, seldom
mention the seeds at all and rarely describe them in such a way as to make possible identi-
fication from the seeds alone. Many of the unusual plants listed in these inventories are
appearing in this country for the first time, and there are no seed samples or herbarium
specimens with ripe seeds with which the new arrivals may be compared. The only iden-
tification possible is to see that the sample received resembles seeds of other species of the
same genus or of related genera. The responsibility for the identifications, therefore, must
necessarily often rest with the person sending the material. If there is any questiom
regarding the correctness of the identification of any plant received from this Division,
herbarium specimens of leaves and flowers should be sent in so that definite identification

can be made,

A hardy running bamboo about 18 feet
high, in general habit strongly resembling

mon in P. aurea, and. (2) the more con-
spicuous spotting of the culm sheaths. Less
apparent but even more important differ-

INTRODUCTORY STATEMENT

Inventory No. 128 is a record of the plant material (Nos. 116966 to 118410)
received by the Division of Plant Exploration and Introduction during the
period from July 1 to September 30, 1936.

It records the first shipments of seeds and bulbs from H. L. Westover and
F. L. Wellman, who left in the spring of 1936 for Turkey and Iran. The colder
mountainous regions of these two countries, where agriculture has been the
chief occupation for countless generations, offer a promising field for the collec-
tion of native strains of vegetables and fruits, especially in the markets and
gardens of the more isolated villages and towns. Also included in these ship-
ments were a number of grasses and forage plants from the semiarid parts
of these countries.

The three agricultural explorers whose activities were discussed in the intro-
ductory statement of the preceding inventory (No. 127), Walter Koelz, W. A.
Archer, and Raymond Stadelman, continued to send in material, during this
period, from India, Brazil, and western South America, respectively. As before,
the nature of the plant material received from them reflects the special needs
of plant breeders and geneticists working with important crop plants.

The Department is again indebted to H. R. Wright, Auckland, New Zealand,
who, during the past two decades, has presented material of new and little-
known fruit varieties from his Avondale nursery. This shipment consists of
plants of 25 different varieties of fruits (Nos. 117462 to 117486), including
peaches, apples, plums, and several forms of citrus fruits, most of which have
not been introduced before into this country.

Those concerned with ornamentals will be served by a rather small but
unusual collection of seeds (Nios. 116983 to 116995) presented by Cheverton
Buller, Stellenbosch, Union of South Africa. These represent native South
African plants, mostly belonging to the Iridaceae and Proteaceae,

The botanical determinations of seeds introduced have been made and the
nomenclature determined by Paul Russell, who has had general supervision
of this inventory.

1It should be understood that the names of varieties of fruits, vegetables, cereals, and
other plants used in this inventory are those under which the material was received when
introduced by the Division of Plant Exploration and Introduction, and, further, that the
printing of such names here does not constitute their official publication and adoption in
this country. As the different varieties are studied, their entrance into the American
trade forecast, and the use of varietal names for them in American literature becomes
necessary, the foreign varietal designations appearing in this inventory will be subject to
change with a view to bringing the forms of the names into harmony with recognized
horticultural nomenclature.

It is a well-known fact that botanical descriptions, both technical and economic, seldom
mention the seeds at all and rarely describe them in such a way as to make possible identi-
fication from the seeds alone. Many of the unusual plants listed in these inventories are
appearing in this country for the first time, and there are no Seed samples or herbarium
specimens with ripe seeds with which the new arrivals may be compared. The only iden-
tification possible is to see that the sample received resembles seeds of other species of the
Same genus or of related genera. The responsibility for the identification, therefore, must
necessarily often rest with the person sending the material. If there is any question
regarding the correctness of the identification of any plant received from this Division,
herbarium Sac Ns of leaves and flowers should be sent in so that definite identification
ean be made.

INTRODUCTORY STATEMENT

This inventory, No. 129, records the plant material (Nos. 118411-
119266) received by the Division of Plant Exploration and Introduc-
tion during the period from October 1 to December 31, 1936.

The greater part of this inventory may be considered essentially as
a continuation of the preceding inventory, as the agricultural explorers
discussed in No. 128, H. L. Westover and F. L. Wellman, Walter
Koelz, W. A. Archer, and Raymond Stadelman) continued to send
in material during this period from Turkey, India, Brazil, and
western South America, respectively.

Although the general nature of the plant material received from
these expeditions remained the same, it is of interest to note, in Dr.
Archer’s collections from Brazil, the increased proportion of peanut
varieties (Arachis hypogaea) and also of other Arachis. This chief
objective of Dr. Archer’s South American trip was to get material
of as many as possible of the wild species of Arachis, and also of the
cultivated forms of the common peanut, for the particular use of
Department specialists.

The genetics and pathology of the cultivated snapdragon have re-
ceived much attention during the past decade, and the interests of
specialists working with these projects are being served by the intro-
duction of seeds of nearly 50 species and varieties of Antirrhinum
(Nos. 118940-118986) , presented by the Director of the Kaiser Wilhelm
Institute, Miincheberg, Germany. ;

YY PLANT MATERIAL INTRODUCED

The botanical determinations of seeds introduced have been made
and the nomenclature determined by Paul Russell, who has had
general supervision of this inventory.

Some medium-sized tree with a round com-

iIt should be understood that the names of varieties of fruits, vegetables, cereals, and
other plants used in this inventory are those under which the material was received when
introduced by the Division of Plant Exploration and Introduction, and, further, that the
printing of such names here does not constitute their official publication and adoption in
this country. As the different varieties are studied, their entrance into the American
trade forecast, and the use of varietal names for them in American literature becomes
necessary, the foreign varietal designations appearing in this inventory will be subject to
change with a view to bringing the forms of the names into harmony with recognized
horticultural nomenclature.

It is a well-known fact that botanical descriptions, both technical and economic, seldom
mention the seeds at all and rarely describe them in such a way as to make possible identi-
fication from the seeds alone. Many of the unusual plants listed in these inventories are
appearing in this country for the first time. and there are no seed samples or herbarium
specimens with ripe seedS with which the new arrivals may be compared. The only iden=:
tification possible is to see that the sample received resembles seeds of other species of the
same genus or of related genera. The responsibility for the identification, therefore, must
necessarily often rest with the person sending the material. If there is any question
regarding the correctness of the identification of any plant received from this Division,
herbarium specimens of leaves and flowers should be sent in so that definite identification
can be mage.

INTRODUCTORY STATEMENT

This inventory, No. 130, is a record of the plant material (Nos.
119267 to 123341) received by the Division of Plant Exploration and
Introduction during the period from January 1 to March 31, 1937.

More than 4,000 introductions are recorded in this inventory, which
is nearly twice as many as have ever been received before during
a like period. They represent the wide collections from two ex-
ploring parties, each of which was primarily concerned with the col-
lection of vegetable varieties in the several areas. In making these
collections, both parties were instructed to keep in mind the choice
of varieties that showed health and vigor of growth, even if the
food quality of the plant was poor. Any and all types of vegetables
were collected except those very recently introduced into the area.
All were to be considered as potential breeding materials for the
Southeastern Vegetable Breeding Station, Charleston, S. C., and for
various State experiment stations.

H. L. Westover, forage crop specialist, and F. L. Wellman, vege-
table pathologist, traveled through Turkey for this purpose, and
Walter Koelz, a former explorer of the Department, collected in
northern India.

In addition to these projects, the results of two other collecting
trips appear in this inventory; those of W. A. Archer and Raymond
Stadelman, who collected peanuts and tobaccos for special breeding
studies, traveling through various Latin-American countries and ob-
serving both small noncommercial cultures and plants in the wild.

Other materials besides those covered by their main projects in-
cluded useful crop plants and some ornamentals from all these
areas.

material for distribution.

119267. APLOPAPPUS CUNEIFOLIUS Nutt.
Asteraceae.

From Chile. Seeds collected by Clarence
Elliott, of England, and presented by Ralph

A. Fenton, of Oswego, Oreg. Received
January 6, 1937.

A shrubby yellow-flowered composite with
stiff alternate leaves; native to Chile.

119268. CARICA
Papayaceae.

PENTAGONA Heilborn.

From Ecuador. Cuttings presented by Luis
fc Seay D., Quito. Received January

Babaco. This is the most remarkable and
valuable of the several interesting species of
Carica cultivated in Ecuador, because of its
large, very acid fruits, from which an excel-
lent sauce is made, the relatively low tem-
peratures which the plant can stand, and be-
cause of its habit of producing seedless fruits.

The plant is seen only under cultivation
where it is a Small tree about 3 m. high; the
leaves are glabrous, like those of Carica
chrysopetala, but with fewer and broader
lobes. The fruits are about 30 cm. long and
7 to 12 em. in diameter, truncate at the base
and sharply acute at the apex. The flesh is
about 1 cm. thick, white, distinctly fragrant,
and very acid. It is eaten only after it is
cooked. The large cavity in the center con-
tains a quantity of white cottony substance
and occasionally a few seeds.

For previous introduction see 62552.

119269 to 119271.

119269 to 119271—Continued.

Nos. 119270 and 119271 were from Pil-
lahuata, Paucartambo Valley, at 2,800 m.
altitude, December 5, 1936.

119270. RuBus sp. Rosaceae.

Sugarcane,

From Barbados, West Indies. Seeds pre-
sented by the Department of Agriculture,
Barbados, through BE. W. Brandes, Bureau
is ae Industry. Received January 15,

119273. CITRUS LIMONIA Osbeck. Ruta-
ceae. Lemon.

From India. Seeds collected by Walter
Koelz, Bureau of Plant Industry. Received
January 4, 1937.

No. 1650. Gulgul, gombru. From Band-
role, Kulu, Punjab, at 5,000 feet altitude,
November 14, 1936. A remarkable lemon;
the tree withstands a temperature of 18° F.
and is covered with snow a month or so in
the winter. It is quick-growing; one 3-year-
old tree (3 feet high when planted) is now
bearing and is 8 feet high. The fruit is large,
of good flavor, and will keep in ordinary stor-
age for over a year. The tree is quite orna-
mental, principally on account of its large
strongly scented flowers.

119274 to 119286. GLADIOLUS spp. _ Iri-
daceae. ;

From the Union of South Africa. Seeds pre-
sented by A. Cheverton Buller, Dwarsri-
viers Hoek. Stellenbosch District. Cape
Province. Received January 13, 1937.

119274. GLADIOLUS ALATUS L.

A gladiolus with flowers of a delightful
fragrance, not unlike that of the sweet
brier. The three upper segments are bright

17t should be understood that the names of varieties of fruits, vegetables, cereals, and

other plants used in this inventory are those under which the material was received when
introduced by the Division of Plant Exploration and Introduction, and, further, that the
printing of such names here does not constitute their official publication and adoption in
this country. As the different varieties are studied, their entrance into the American
trade forecast. and the use of varietal names for them in American literature becomes
necessary, the foreign varietal designations appearing in this inventory will be subject to
change with a view to bringing the forms of the names into harmony with recognized
horticultural nomenclature.

It is a well-known fact that botanical descriptions, both technical and economic, seldom
mention the seeds at all and rarely describe them in such a way as to make possible identi-
fication from the seeds alone. Many of the unusual plants listed in these inventories are
appearing in this country for the first time. and there are no seed samples or herbarium
specimens with ripe seeds with which the new arrivals may be compared. The only iden-
tification possible is to see that the sample received resembles seeds of other species of the
same genus or of related genera. The responsibility for the identifications therefore must
necessarily often rest with the person sending the material. If there is any question
regarding the correctness of the identification of any plant received from this Division,
pe unl Specimens of leaves and flowers should be sent in so that definite identification
ean be made.
