11t 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.

123426. ARUNDINARIA ANCEPS Mitf. Poa-

ceae. Bamboo,

Because of the uncertainty of its origin,
this arundinaria was named anceps
(doubtful). It is now believed to be na-
tive to northern India. The culms are
round and slender and are reported to
grow 10 to 15 feet high in England. On
Small plants there are 2 or 3 branches at
each node, with rather long branchlets
having 8 to 10 linear-lanceolate leaves.
The leaves are light green, over 2 inches
long and three-eighths of an inch wide.
The tessellation (cross venation) is mi-
nute and unusually regular.

123427. CHIMONOBAMBUSA FALCATA (Nees)

Nakai (Arundinaria falcata Nees). Poa-

ceae. Bamboo,

A slender clump bamboo growing to a
height of 20 feet, but not exceeding one-
half inch in diameter, having the young
stems covered with a bluish-white, waxy
coating Soon turning yellowish green. The
light-green, Striate-veined’ leaves are 4 to
6 inches long by one-third of an inch wide,
with downy sheaths. The species is not
very hardy, being native to the lower
slopes of the Himalayas in nortuwestern
India.

For previous introduction see 110335.

123428, THAMNOCALAMUS FALCONERI Hook.
f. (Arundinaria falconert (Van Houtte)
A. and C. Rivicre). Poaceae. Bamboo.

A bamboo with a cylindrical culm, which,
when young, has 8 to 10 branches at each
node; these branches vary in length, are
exceedingly slender, often purplish in color,
and have 4 to 7 leaves gathered near the
tips. The leaves are lanceolate, 114 to 4
inches long by %.6 to % of an inch wide.
The slenderness of the branches gives this
bamboo a distinctive beauty.

For previous introduction see 114413.

A small bamboo growing 3 feet or more
high. The internodes of the culm are very
short, with 3 branches at each node, 2 short
and 1 long. The bright-green, nearly Ses-
Sile leaves are up to 4% inches long by
3% to % of an inch wide, rough on both
sides and with tessellated venations. The
degree of hardiness of the plant is not defi-
nitely known, though it is reported to
have withstood a temperature of about 8°

F. without injury in England.

to a height of 10 to 15 feet. It is reported

to produce masses of culms, which is un-
usual for hardy bamboos. The culms turn
to a rich yellow with age, and there are

1 to many branches at the nodes. On

small plants a branch may bear 2 to 3

leaves up to 2% inches long by %e of an

inch wide. There are usually 3 pairs of

Secondary veins and the intermediates are

5 to 8. The tessellation is rather close.

duction from Peru.

124633 to 124637. Hisiscus. Malva-
ceae.

From Florida. <A _ collection of seedlings
growing at the United States Plant Intro-
duction Garden, Coconut Grove. Numbered
in July 19387.

124633. Variety Painted Lady. A Seedling
of an unnamed Hawaiian variety, raised
at the Plant Introduction Garden. It is
vigorous in growth with some branches
tending to droop. The flower is 414
to 5 inches across, thulite pink merging
into a white center. The narrow petals
are touched with earmine on margins at
base, and the stigmas are grenadine red.
The flower with its light center is a Strik-
ing contrast to most other hibiscus vari-
eties.

124634. Variety Aldebaran. A seedling of
an unnamed Hawaiian variety raised at
the Plant Introduction Garden. ‘This
plant is vigorous in growth and of up-
right habit, with the new stems dark
brownish red and foliage a rich dark
green. The flower, about 41% inches
across, iS Spectrum red, merging into an
indefinitely marked carmine eye at the
center. The petals are broad. This is
one of the most intensely red varieties,
and the brilliant flowers make a pleasing
contrast with the very deep-green foliage.

124635. Variety Jupiter. A seedling of an
unnamed Hawaiian variety. It is a vig-
orous grower. ‘The flowers, 514 to 6%
inches across, are apricot yellow, mot-
tled with light coral. The coral fades
as the day advances, leaving the color
a fairly clear yellow. The eye is flesh
ocher and the stigmas scarlet. This is
one of the most admired of the yellow
hibiscus.

124636, Variety Gerrit Wilder. This vari-
ety iS vigorous, bushy, somewhat re-
cumbent in habit, and free flowering. The
flower color iS particularly pleasing; it
shades from rhodonite pink at the petal
apex to a carmine center. The stigmas
are buff yellow. Flowers measure 414 to
% inches in diameter. Cuttings root
easily.

124637. Variety Golden Bell. History un-
known, but the variety is believed to
have originated aS a seedling (probably
of a Hawaiian variety) at the United
States Plant Introduction Garden at Co-
conut Grove. The color is apricot yellow
with an eye of English red, the eye
touched around its margin with grena-
dine red. The stigmas are spectrum red.
This flower is somewhat more campanu-
late in form than the average hibiscus
and is rather stiff in appearance.

INTRODUCTORY STATEMENT

This inventory, No. 133, records the plant material (Nos. 124969 to
126493) received by the Division of Plant Exploration and Introduc-
tion during the period October 1 to December 31, 1937.

With the definite purpose of studying wild tomato material in the
field and of collecting whatever was available, particularly from plants
believed to be truly wild, Dr. H. L. Blood, of the Utah Agricultural
Experiment Station, and cooperating with the Division of Fruit and
Vegetable Crops and Diseases, Bureau of Plant Industry, spent the
last 2 months of 19387 in Peru, Bolivia, northern Argentina, and Chile,
collecting not only this type of material but also cultivated tomatoes
from native markets.

In addition to true tomatoes, he gathered seeds of various other non-
tuberous solanaceous plants, including species of Cyphomandra,
Nicandra, Physalis, and Solanum, which have been added to the work-
ing material of Department pathologists.

Since that time, many of his collections have been studied taxo-
nomically and reported by C. H. Muller (Miscellaneous Publication
No. 382, A Revision of the Genus Lycopersicon, July 1940); these
include one new species, one new variety, and three new forms.

Pathologists have already published on the unusual characteristics
of one of the wild tomatoes, Lycopersicon hirsutum, found by Dr.
Blood. It is stated (Phytopathology 29: 757-759, 1939) that while
making crosses between this wild species and the common tomato the
discovery was made that LZ. hirsutum is apparently completely toler-
ant to tobacco mosaic and extremely resistant to fusarium wilt.

Contrary to many suppositions, Afghanistan is not entirely inacces-
sible if one may judge by the more than 900 introductions in this pres-
ent inventory that are credited to the Bureau’s agricultural explorer

tural Research Administration, United States Department of Agriculture.

Walter Koelz. His instructions were essentially for the collection of
materials in the field of vegetables, continuing the long program of
obtaining essential breeding materials for this Bureau’s Division of
Fruit and Vegetable Crops and Diseases and its specialized programs,
not only for the Southeastern States but for its specialists elsewhere.

With his customary thoroughness, Dr. Koelz has sent in not only
vegetables but also unusual fruits and high-altitude cereals, which,
because of their hardiness under difficult conditions, have been wel-
comed by Department specialists.

This inventory has been prepared under the supervision of Paul
Russell, who has checked or identified the incoming seed materials and
has verified the botanical nomenclature and descriptive notes.

INTRODUCTORY STATEMENT |

This inventory, No. 184, is a record of the plant material (Nos.
126494 to 128322) received by the. Division of Plant Exploration and
Introduction during the period from January 1 to March 31, 1938.

The extended comments on the agricultural explorations of H. L.
Blood in South America and Walter Koelz in Afghanistan and India,
included in the introduction to Inventory No. 133, may well apply to
this inventory also; for a large proportion of the plant materials re-
ceived during this period is the result of the continuing activity of the
two agricultural explorers mentioned, and the nature of the material
received was very largely the same.

With the special object of furnishing working material for corn
breeders in the semiarid Southwest, four lots of locally developed
varieties were introduced from Peru and Bolivia (Zea mays; Nos.
A27717-127724, 127762-127770,. 127892-127898, and 127901-127904).
_ This inventory has been prepared under the supervision of Paul
Russell, who has checked or identified the incoming seed materials and
has verified the botanical nomenclature and descriptive notes.

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 excellent sauce is made, the relatively low temperatures which the
plant can stand, and because 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 cm. to 12 em. in di-
ameter, truncate at the base and sharply acute at the apex. The flesh is about
1 ecm. thick, white, distinctly fragrant, and very acid. It is-eaten only after it
is cooked. The large cavity in the center contains a quantity of white cottony
substance and occasionally a few seeds. The plant is propagated by cuttings.
