  28264 
  to

  From

  Received 
  through 
  Mr. 
  Frank 
  N. 
  Meyer, 
  agricultural 
  explorer, 
  

   June 
  25, 
  1910. 
  

   Roots 
  of 
  the 
  following: 
  

  

  28264. 
  (Undetermined.) 
  

  

  From 
  mountains 
  near 
  Bacharden, 
  Turkestan. 
  "(No. 
  785, 
  June 
  6, 
  1910.) 
  

   A 
  very 
  ornamental, 
  low-growing, 
  perennial 
  plant 
  belonging 
  to 
  the 
  Silenaceae; 
  it 
  

   produces 
  a 
  mass 
  of 
  dark 
  rosy-red 
  flowers 
  in 
  early 
  June. 
  Grows 
  between 
  rocks 
  

   and 
  bowlders 
  on 
  sunburned 
  mountain 
  sides; 
  apparently 
  prefers 
  drained 
  situa- 
  

   tions. 
  Of 
  value 
  as 
  a 
  rockery 
  plant 
  in 
  dry, 
  hot 
  regions." 
  (Meyer.) 
  

  

  28265. 
  Capriola 
  dactylon 
  (L.) 
  Kuntze. 
  

  

  From 
  Kizil 
  Arvat, 
  Turkestan. 
  "(No. 
  787, 
  June 
  2, 
  1910.) 
  A 
  crab-grass 
  

   growing 
  in 
  the 
  desert 
  along 
  the 
  banks 
  of 
  dry 
  rivers 
  and 
  irrigation 
  canals. 
  Seems 
  

   to 
  be 
  the 
  well-known 
  Bermuda 
  grass 
  or 
  a 
  form 
  of 
  it. 
  Recommended 
  for 
  testing 
  

   as 
  a 
  lawn 
  grass 
  in 
  dry 
  and 
  hot 
  regions, 
  as 
  it 
  forms 
  a 
  dense 
  turf 
  in 
  its 
  native 
  haunts 
  

   where 
  camels 
  and 
  donkeys 
  browse 
  upon 
  it." 
  (Meyer.) 
  

  

  28266. 
  Eremurus 
  altaicus 
  (Pall.) 
  Stev. 
  

  

  From 
  mountains 
  near 
  Bacharden, 
  Turkestan. 
  "(No. 
  788, 
  June 
  5, 
  1910.) 
  

   An 
  ornamental 
  Eremurus 
  growing 
  on 
  dry 
  mountain 
  slopes 
  between 
  rocks 
  and 
  

   stony 
  debris. 
  It 
  has 
  columnar 
  spikes 
  of 
  rosy-purple 
  flowers. 
  Probably 
  of 
  

   value 
  as 
  a 
  garden 
  ornamental 
  in 
  regions 
  where 
  aridity 
  of 
  the 
  atmosphere 
  pre- 
  

   vails 
  together 
  with 
  high 
  summer 
  and 
  fairly 
  low 
  winter 
  temperatures."
