Cotoneaster bullata floribunda (Stapf) Rehder & Wilson. 

 (Malaceae.) 43836. Plant from Jamaica Plain, Mass. 

 Presented by the Arnold Arboretum. A shrub, with oval 

 or narrower dark green bullate leaves, up to 3 inches 

 in length. The flowers are white tinged with pink, 

 but are of little ornamental value because they fall 

 off soon after appearing, and do not attain much size. 

 The globose red fruits occur abundantly in September 

 on the upper sides of the long arching shoots, and 

 give the plant a very beautiful appearance . This shrub 

 is found in western China. (Adapted from Curtis 's 

 Botanical Magazine, vol. 135, plate 8284, under Coton- 

 easter moupinensis floribunda.) 



Decumaria siiwnsis Oliver. (Hydrangeaceae. ) 43839. 

 Plant from Jamaica Plain, Mass. Presented by the Ar- 

 nold Arboretum. A climbing shrub from Central China 

 with generally oblong or obtuse leaves up to 3 inches 

 in length, and small white flowers in terminal corymbs . 

 The fruit is a capsule filled with numerous minute 

 seeds. This shrub is very ornamental because of its 

 handsome glossy foliage and the white flowers are very 

 fragrant. It thrives in almost any humid soil and is 

 propagated by greenwood cuttings in summer glass, and 

 rarely by seeds. (Adapted from Rehder, in Bailey, 

 Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture, vol. 2, p. 974.)
