  Linnaeus 
  in 
  1753 
  on 
  page 
  492 
  of 
  the 
  Species 
  Plantarum. 
  But 
  on 
  page 
  491 
  of 
  

   the 
  same 
  work 
  Linnaeus 
  published 
  the 
  name 
  Rosa 
  cinnamomea, 
  which 
  is 
  gen- 
  

   erally 
  considered 
  to 
  be 
  the 
  same 
  as 
  R. 
  pendulina. 
  Keller 
  uses 
  the 
  name 
  R. 
  cin- 
  

   namomea 
  for 
  the 
  species 
  described 
  under 
  that 
  name 
  in 
  1759 
  by 
  Linnaeus 
  (Sys- 
  

   tema 
  Naturae, 
  ed. 
  10, 
  vol. 
  2, 
  p. 
  1062). 
  According 
  to 
  present 
  rules 
  of 
  botanical 
  

   nomenclature, 
  R. 
  cinnamomea 
  must 
  be 
  used 
  for 
  the 
  first 
  species 
  described 
  under 
  

   that 
  name, 
  and 
  our 
  plant 
  being 
  a 
  form 
  of 
  that 
  species, 
  is 
  here 
  placed 
  under 
  it. 
  

  

  Rosa 
  cinnamomea 
  malyi 
  was 
  first 
  discovered 
  by 
  Herr 
  Maly 
  on 
  the 
  slopes 
  of 
  

   the 
  mountains 
  in 
  Dalmatia, 
  and 
  was 
  by 
  him 
  introduced 
  into 
  cultivation.

  "The 
  following 
  collection 
  of 
  grafted 
  plants, 
  rooted 
  cuttings, 
  and 
  scions 
  or 
  cuttings 
  

   embraces 
  some 
  of 
  the 
  principal 
  varieties 
  of 
  fruits 
  grown 
  in 
  Granada. 
  Dr. 
  Gustav 
  Eisen 
  

   has 
  shown 
  that 
  many 
  of 
  the 
  so-called 
  Mission 
  varieties 
  of 
  fruits 
  grown 
  in 
  California 
  in 
  

   the 
  early 
  days 
  really 
  originated 
  in 
  Granada. 
  It 
  is 
  hoped 
  that 
  some 
  of 
  the 
  varieties 
  in 
  

   the 
  following 
  list 
  will 
  prove 
  to 
  be 
  of 
  considerable 
  value. 
  The 
  shipment 
  was 
  made 
  

   largely 
  to 
  test 
  the 
  possibility 
  of 
  shipping 
  plants 
  in 
  good 
  order 
  from 
  central 
  Spain 
  to 
  

   the 
  United 
  States."

  Crataegus 
  azarolus 
  L. 
  Azarol. 
  

   ' 
  ' 
  Encarnado. 
  The 
  azarol 
  represents 
  a 
  type 
  of 
  fruit 
  whose 
  cultivation 
  has 
  been 
  

  

  much 
  neglected 
  in 
  the 
  United 
  States. 
  These 
  fruits, 
  which 
  ripen 
  from 
  August 
  

   to 
  October 
  in 
  Spain 
  and 
  France, 
  are 
  from 
  a 
  half 
  inch 
  to 
  an 
  inch 
  in 
  diameter 
  or 
  

   even 
  more, 
  and 
  have 
  a 
  delicious, 
  subacid 
  flavor, 
  with 
  flesh 
  of 
  a 
  melting 
  char- 
  

   acter. 
  In 
  flavor 
  and 
  texture 
  its 
  fruits 
  resemble 
  loquats 
  in 
  many 
  respects. 
  

   These 
  plants 
  are 
  grafted 
  on 
  the 
  common 
  hawthorn 
  and 
  are 
  said 
  to 
  grow 
  in 
  all 
  

   kinds 
  of 
  soil, 
  both 
  dry 
  land 
  and 
  under 
  irrigation. 
  The 
  variety 
  in 
  question 
  is 
  

   flesh 
  color, 
  supposed 
  to 
  be 
  of 
  Italian 
  origin."
