TETRASTIGMA, A NEW FRUITING VINE FROM MANILA, TETRAST1GMA HARMANDI PLANCHON, S. P. 1. 



No. 34630. 



This vine has made a remarkable growth at the Davie Experimental Farm on the Everglades, 

 where it was first planted out July 9, 1914. It is described by Mr. C. F. Baker as a tall-growing 

 woody vine which becomes loaded with fruit of the size and appearance of the Scuppernong 

 grape and which is edible, making a very good refresco. It flowered in 1915, but did not fruit 

 and seems to have been unaffected by the floods produced by 17 inches of rain which fell in less 

 than three days. Photographed (P20010FS) by David Fairchild, February 6, 1916.
