20001 to 20229— Continued. 



20104. ACANTHOPANAX SESSILIFLORUM. 



From Liaoyang, Manchuria. "(No. 379a, June 1, 1906.) An Aralia-like 

 shrub growing in the Scottish mission garden in Liaoyang. May be util- 

 ized in parks and large gardens; not as ornamental, perhaps, as could 

 be wished for, but apparently very hardy and drought resistant." 

 (Meyer.) 



20105. Crataegus sanguinea. Hawthorn. 



From the mountains of northern Korea. "(No. 380a, Aug., 1906.) A 

 very hardy, ornamental Crataegus growing as a tall shrub or small tree. 

 Has light green, somewhat tomentose foliage, and is covered in the fall 

 with orange-scarlet berries. The berries are edible, but are rather flat 

 and mealy to our taste. Well adapted for planting in parks." (Meyer.) 



20106. Crataegus sanguinea. Hawthorn. 



From the mountains near the source of the Tumen River, northern 



Korea. "(No. 3Sla, Aug. 27, 1906.) Seeds from trees growing at high 



. altitudes, over 3,000 feet, and apparently the limit zone of this Crataegus. 



Ought to be hardier than No. 380a (S. P. I. No. 20105) ; otherwise the 



same description applies to it." (Meyer.) 



20107. Crataegus sanguinea. Hawthorn. 



From the mountains of northern Korea. "(No. 382a, Aug. 5, 1906.) A 

 variety bearing yellow berries; not as handsome as the usual type." 

 (Meyer.) 



20108. Crataegus pinnatifida. Hawthorn. 



From the mountains of northern Korea. "(No. 383a, Aug. 28, 1906.) 

 A variety having very finely pinnate leaves. The fruits are much smaller 

 and ripen later than those of the usual type. This may be a distinct 

 variety or strain." (Meyer.) 



20109. Crataegus pinnatifida. Hawthorn. 



From the mountains of northern Korea. "(No. 3S4a, Aug. 28, 1906.) 

 A variety quite handsome in appearance, having large, glossy, dark green 

 leaves; bears very few fruits, however." (Meyer.) 



20110. Sorbus sp. 



From the mountains of northern Korea. "(No. 385a, Aug. 27, 1906.) 

 A Sorbus seen usually as a shrub, but in the forests it grows to be a tall, 

 slender tree; apparently a very scant bearer, as I saw only two shrubs 

 in fruit, but the large clusters of yellow berries contrast beautifully with 

 the tender, pinnate foliage." (Meyer.) 



20111. Berberis sp. Barberry. 



From the mountains of northern Korea. "(No. 386a, Aug. 28, 1906.) 

 A large-leaved Berberis growing 6 to 10 feet tall and bearing many 

 racemes of red berries." (Meyer.) 



20112. Berberis sp. Barberry. 



From the mountains of northern Korea. "(No. 387a, Sept. 2, 1906.) A 

 large-leaved Berberis from a different locality than the preceding one; 

 otherwise the same remarks apply to it." (Meyer.) 



20113. Rosa sp. . Rose. 



From northern Korea. "(No. 38Sa, Aug., 1906.) Fruits collected from 

 rose bushes in different parts of northern Korea ; probably several dis- 

 tinct species." (Meyer.)
