1 It should be understood that the names of varieties of fruits, vegetables, cereals, and 

 other plants used in this inventory are those under which the material was received when 

 introduced by the Division of Plant Exploration and Introduction, and, further, that the 

 printing of such names here does not constitute their official publication and adoption in 

 this country. As the different varieties are studied, their entrance into the American 

 trade forecast, and the use of varietal names for them in American literature becomes 

 necessary, the foreign varietal designations appearing in this inventory will be subject to 

 change with a view to bringing the forms of the names into harmony with recognized 

 horticultural nomenclature. 



It is a well-known fact that botanical descriptions, both technical and economic, seldom 

 mention the seeds at all and rarely describe them in such a way as to make possible identi- 

 fication from the seeds alone. Many of the unusual plants listed in these inventories are 

 appearing in this country for the first time, and there are no seed samples or herbarium 

 specimens with ripe seeds with which the new arrivals may be compared. The only iden- 

 tification possible is to see that the sample received resembles seeds of other species of the 

 same genus or of related genera. The responsibility for the identification, therefore, must 

 necessarily often rest with the person sending the material. If there is any question 

 regarding the correctness of the identification of any plant received from this Division, 

 herbarium specimens of leaves and flowers should be sent in so that definite identification 

 can be made.
