Frequent, especially in the Red river valley. Mr. Bebb writes : "Pro£- 

 L. F. Ward and myself are utterly unable to account for the arrest of wood 

 growth at the base of the atrophied twigs." This is not regarded by Mr. 

 Bebb as worthy of a distinct varietal name. It is, however, very well 

 known in many localities because of its diamond-shaped gnarls, which give 

 its name, and make it a curiosity when used for canes or ornamental work.

Prof. Coulter writes: "Our Sisyrin-iiiums are unquestionably two

 but it is impossible without a half day's work in the library to tell which. 

 They are both undoubtedly distinct from the Jamaica plant."
