  Bradburya 
  pubescens 
  (Benth.) 
  Kuntze. 
  

  

  "A 
  leguminous 
  vine 
  being 
  experimented 
  with 
  at 
  Buitenzorg, 
  Java, 
  as 
  a 
  

   green-manure 
  crop. 
  It 
  has 
  much 
  the 
  habit 
  of 
  Bradburya 
  plumieri." 
  

  

  32781. 
  Apocopis 
  sp. 
  

  

  "An 
  unknown 
  grass 
  growing 
  in 
  the 
  garden 
  at 
  Buitenzorg, 
  Java, 
  from 
  seed 
  

   collected 
  in 
  New 
  Guinea. 
  It 
  apparently 
  has 
  considerable 
  promise 
  as 
  a 
  pasture 
  

   grass 
  for 
  the 
  extreme 
  southern 
  States."

  and 
  

   also 
  in 
  the

  India. 
  In 
  some 
  sections 
  it 
  is 
  considered 
  one 
  

   of 
  the 
  best 
  native 
  legume 
  varieties. 
  It 
  should 
  succeed 
  well 
  under 
  southern 
  

   California 
  conditions."

  is 
  the 
  variety 
  of 
  Andropogon 
  halepensis 
  common 
  throughout 
  the 
  Ganges 
  

   Valley. 
  It 
  is 
  quite 
  different 
  from 
  the 
  ordinary 
  variety 
  of 
  Johnson 
  grass 
  intro- 
  

   duced 
  into 
  this 
  country,

  a

  larger, 
  looser, 
  drooping 
  panicle, 
  but 
  

   also 
  having 
  the 
  same 
  development 
  of 
  rootstocks 
  and 
  being 
  equally 
  weedy. 
  It 
  

   should 
  be 
  tested 
  with 
  care."

  "What 
  has 
  been 
  identified 
  as 
  this 
  same 
  species 
  seems 
  to 
  have 
  been 
  intro- 
  

   duced 
  into 
  Florida 
  some 
  time 
  ago, 
  and 
  at 
  Oneco 
  there 
  is 
  a 
  beautiful 
  specimen 
  

   which, 
  although 
  injured 
  during 
  the 
  great 
  freezes, 
  has 
  recovered 
  and 
  is 
  now 
  a 
  

   very 
  beautiful 
  shade 
  tree."
