   Seeds 
  of 
  the 
  following; 
  quoted 
  notes 
  by 
  Dr. 
  Perez: 
  

  

  31951. 
  Variety 
  canariae. 
  "This 
  is 
  the 
  escobon 
  of 
  Grand 
  Canary 
  Island. 
  It 
  

   is 
  an 
  excellent 
  fodder 
  for 
  goats 
  and 
  a 
  sister 
  plant 
  of 
  the 
  tagasaste. 
  I 
  would 
  

   suggest 
  it 
  being 
  tried 
  in 
  the 
  mountains 
  of 
  extreme 
  southern 
  California. 
  " 
  

  

  31952. 
  "A 
  tall 
  shrub 
  that 
  grows 
  here 
  at 
  from 
  4,000 
  to 
  6,000 
  feet 
  above 
  the 
  

   level 
  of 
  the 
  sea. 
  Sometimes 
  it 
  is 
  spoken 
  of 
  as 
  variety 
  angustifolia. 
  Goats 
  eat 
  

   it, 
  but 
  the 
  tagasaste 
  (No. 
  28827) 
  is 
  better, 
  also 
  the 
  variety 
  from 
  Grand 
  Canary 
  

   Island 
  (No. 
  31951). 
  However, 
  the 
  Teneriffe 
  escobon, 
  which 
  is, 
  as 
  it 
  were, 
  

   the 
  type 
  plant, 
  has 
  many 
  uses. 
  Cartwrights 
  use 
  it 
  for 
  wheels 
  in 
  preference 
  

   to 
  any 
  other 
  timber. 
  Its 
  height 
  is 
  20 
  to 
  25 
  feet, 
  and 
  the 
  diameter 
  of 
  the 
  trunk 
  

   1 
  foot.
