cultivated by the Ashantis as a shade tree (Thompson, Herb. 

 Kew) ; planted as a palaver tree in many villages in the Ivory 

 Coast and in Lagos ; introduced to Senegal (Chevaher, Bull. Soc.

Morus indica, Linn., a shrub or small tree, and M. nigra, 

 Linn. " Black Mulberry," a deciduous tree about 30 ft. high, are 

 mentioned in Flora of Tropical Africa (I.e. p. 20) as occurring in 

 Africa, the former in British East Africa, Zanzibar, Usambara, 

 Portuguese East Africa and the Zambesi Delta; cultivated in 

 India, China, Japan and East Africa and the latter in Angola, 

 cultivated in Gardens. The general areas of cultivation of tliese 

 trees including M. alba, Linn, are, in hot countries, at comparat- 

 ively high altitudes, ranging from about 4000-11,000 ft.— the 

 altitude of an estate in the Nj-onda River Valley, British East 

 Africa, where among other fruits of temperate chmates, the 

 ''Large Black Enghsh " and "Russian" Mulberry is being 

 grown, is about 5500-6000 ft. (Kew Bull. 1914, p. 272). In 

 Nyasaland (1916) 2500 mulberry plants were raised from cuttings 

 in the Nursery at Zomba, for the purpose of establishing small 

 groves on the Government Farms and other places in the Pro- 

 tectorate, with a view to silk-worm culture, provided certain 

 experiments then being made proved successful (Purves. Renort 



1916, p. 14).
