   Cuttings 
  and 
  plants 
  as 
  follows 
  : 
  

   27089. 
  Philadelphus 
  sp. 
  

  

  From 
  near 
  Gagri, 
  Caucasus, 
  Russia. 
  "(No. 
  405, 
  February 
  2, 
  1910.) 
  A 
  

   mock 
  orange, 
  found 
  on 
  stony 
  mountain 
  slopes 
  and 
  in 
  cliffs. 
  Apparently 
  very 
  

   floriferous. 
  Of 
  value 
  as 
  an 
  ornamental 
  flowering 
  shrub 
  in 
  mild-wintered 
  

   regions." 
  (Meyer.) 
  

   27090 
  and 
  27091. 
  Medicago 
  sp. 
  

  

  From 
  near 
  Gagri, 
  Caucasus, 
  Russia. 
  "(No. 
  413 
  and 
  414, 
  January 
  31, 
  1910.) 
  

   Alfalfas 
  growing 
  on 
  the 
  south 
  side 
  of 
  cliffs. 
  Apparently 
  several 
  species 
  among 
  

   this 
  lot. 
  As 
  the 
  winter 
  in 
  this 
  part 
  of 
  the 
  Caucasus 
  is 
  very 
  mild 
  these 
  plants 
  

   will 
  probably 
  not 
  be 
  able 
  to 
  stand 
  any 
  hard 
  frost." 
  (Meyer.) 
  

   27092. 
  Melilotus 
  sp. 
  

  

  From 
  near 
  Gagri, 
  Caucasus, 
  Russia. 
  "(No.

  January 
  31, 
  1910.) 
  Found 
  

   along 
  a 
  road 
  in 
  stony 
  debris; 
  perhaps 
  of 
  value 
  as 
  a 
  fodder 
  plant."
