From Russia. Received March, 1899, through Mr. M. A. Carleton. 



Originally from the island of Sachalin, and recently grown in the government of 

 Kief. This perennial plant was discovered by a Russian physician, Dr. Weyrich, 

 and first introduced from Sachalin by Prof. A. T. Batalin, and grown at the Imperial 

 Botanical Gardens at St. Petersburg. It seems to have all the good qualities of 

 sachaline {Polygonum sachalinense) , and at the same time the leaves are tender and 

 the branches not woody, as in the case of the other plant, which was its chief objec- 

 tion. Should be tried wherever sachaline has been most successful. Amount 

 obtained, 2 pounds.
