  The 
  seeds 
  of 
  this 
  spreading 
  leguminous 
  Chinese 
  shrub 
  were 
  received 
  

   under 
  the 
  name 
  Sophora 
  viciifolia, 
  which 
  was 
  published 
  by 
  Hance 
  in 
  

   1881. 
  However, 
  in 
  1796 
  Salisbury 
  had 
  published 
  the 
  name 
  Sophora 
  

   viciaefolia 
  for 
  the 
  plant 
  now 
  generally 
  known 
  as 
  Virgilia 
  capensis. 
  As 
  

   it 
  is 
  not 
  allowable 
  to 
  use 
  the 
  same 
  specific 
  name 
  more 
  than 
  once 
  in 
  the 
  

   same 
  genus, 
  Sophora 
  viciifolia 
  Hance 
  is 
  rejected 
  as 
  a 
  homonym. 
  The 
  

   next 
  name 
  applied 
  to 
  this 
  species 
  was 
  Sophora 
  moorcroftiana 
  davidi 
  

   Franchet; 
  and 
  as 
  it 
  is 
  considered 
  to 
  be 
  distinct 
  from 
  the 
  Indian 
  plant, 
  

   S. 
  moorcroftiana, 
  it 
  is 
  here 
  raised 
  to 
  specific 
  rank. 
  

  

  Sophora 
  davidi 
  was 
  found 
  by 
  Hance 
  in 
  the 
  vicinity 
  of 
  Ichang, 
  in 
  the 
  

   province 
  of 
  Hupeh, 
  and 
  is 
  also 
  known 
  to 
  grow 
  in 
  the 
  province 
  of 
  Shensi, 
  

   in 
  China.

  "This 
  is 
  a 
  cross 
  between 
  Physalis 
  francheti 
  and 
  P. 
  alkekengi. 
  The 
  

   colored 
  calyces 
  are 
  much 
  less 
  in 
  size 
  than 
  those 
  of 
  P. 
  francheti, 
  and 
  in 
  

   general 
  appearance 
  the 
  hybrid 
  is 
  about 
  intermediate 
  between 
  the 
  parents. 
  

   When 
  the 
  growths 
  are 
  cut 
  and 
  the 
  calyces 
  fully 
  colored, 
  the 
  leaves 
  are 
  

   still 
  in 
  a 
  fresh 
  condition, 
  and 
  for 
  this 
  reason 
  as 
  well 
  as 
  for 
  the 
  less 
  stiff 
  

   character 
  of 
  the 
  shoots 
  as 
  compared 
  with 
  P. 
  francheti, 
  the 
  hybrid 
  may 
  

   be 
  more 
  valued 
  for 
  use 
  in 
  decorative 
  purposes."

  "I 
  have 
  grown 
  this 
  variety 
  in 
  my 
  garden 
  for 
  several 
  

   years 
  and 
  regard 
  it 
  as 
  one 
  of 
  the 
  very 
  best. 
  It 
  is 
  a 
  prolific 
  bearer 
  (the 
  name 
  

   signifies 
  that 
  the 
  tree 
  takes 
  no 
  thought 
  of 
  itself), 
  it 
  is 
  rich 
  in 
  flavor, 
  very 
  

   sweet, 
  and 
  not 
  astringent. 
  In 
  size

  it

  Gema."
