FOREIGN PLANT INTRODUCTIONS 



Echeveria Hoveyi hort. (Crassula- 

 ceae.) 28673. Plants turned over to 

 Ihe Department for distribution, by 

 Dr. J. N. Rose, Associate Curator, Di- 

 vision of Plants, United States Na- 

 tional Museum. Usually stemless, but 

 when old developing a short stem; 

 leaves forming a loose spreading ro- 

 Bette, pale green with broad pinkish 

 or white margins, and these more or 

 less wavy or sometimes colored 



Echeveria Hoveyi. 



throughout; flowering stem a secund 

 raceme bearing 6 to 12 flowers; corolla 

 pinkish. The origin of this form Is 

 unknown, but it is probably some hor- 

 ticultural sport or hybrid but does not 

 closely resemble any of our common 

 cultivated forms, although it may be 

 said to belong to the group of species 

 In which Echeveria secunda and Eche- 

 veria glauca Is found. (See photo- 

 graph above.) For immediate distri- 

 bution. 



Spondias dulcis. 28090. The WB 

 fruit or golden-apple from Port-of- 

 Spain, Trinidad. Presented by Mr. F. 

 Evans. See S. P. I. No. 26470 for 

 description. For distribution later. 



Trifolium sp. 28045. From near 

 Guda-ur, Caucasus. A perennial 

 clover found on dry mountain slopes 

 at elevations of about 7,000 feet above 

 sea level. Apparently able to stand 

 severe cold and is very drought re- 

 sistant. (Meyer's introduction.) 



Solanum tuberosum. (Solanaceae.) 

 2S78II. Tubers from Paraguay. Present- 

 ed bv Mr. C. F. Mead of Piropo. "It will 

 stand frost equal to tomato vines. The 

 tubers above ground are very similar 

 to potatoes, but the color is dark, 

 from vellow to red. There are also 

 white " tubers below the ground, the 

 same as regular potatoes, but very 

 small. It may be possible by selection 

 and crossing to induce plants to bear 

 marketable potatoes, both below and 

 above ground. It is not as heavy a 

 cropper as the regular potato and the 

 necessity for a trellis makes its eco- 

 nomic value doubtful." (Mead.) For 

 distribution later. 



Unidentified. (Silenaceae.) 28264. 

 Roots from mountains near Bachar- 

 den, Turkestan. A very ornamental, 

 low-growing perennial plant belonging 

 to the Silenaceae, bearing a mass of 

 dark, rosy-red flowers in early June. 

 Growing between rocks and boulders 

 on sunburned mountain sides. (Meyer's 

 introduction.) For distribution later.
