Plant.

" No. 1863. Pinasniocj, Peru, July 16, 1915. Cuttings of an extremely 

 beautiful tree, with fine glossy deep-green foliage contrasting with a 

 smooth, light-colored, graceful trunk and branches. Should be tried, 

 especially along the Pacific coast. Likely to become a general favorite 

 if conditions prove favorable for its development. Should be easily 

 propagated from cuttings. This material is from a selected tree of which 

 photographs were taken."

 tree, with deep-green, hollylike foliage and clusters of red berries. Some- 

 what resembling our thorn-apple trees, Crataegus, but with much more 

 handsome evergreen foliage. Should be of interest for the Pacific coast 

 if it is found to thrive."

41112. Escallonia resinosa (R. and P.) Persoon. Escalloniaceae. 



" No. 1886. Pinasniocj, Peru, July 17, 1915. Chachacoma. A tree of 

 ornamental value, producing clusters of white flowers for a long period 

 during the winter months. The trees attain a height of 30 or 40 feet 

 and a diameter of 2 to 3 feet. The wood is of excellent quality, having 

 very little grain, and used especially for carving and household utensils. 

 Should endure frosts and may prove useful, especially along the Pacific 

 coast. "

41113. Solanum sp. Solanaceae. 



" No. 1890. Pinasniocj, Peru, July 17, 1915. Quita naranjo. A shrub 

 attaining a height of 6 to 8 feet, with very tough wood. The habits of 

 growth, the clean, fresh green foliage and clusters of white flowers all 

 unite to give a remarkable resemblance to the orange tree. This is 

 recognized in the native name, which means ' wild orange.' The plant 

 should be of ornamental value in the open air in the warmer parts of 

 the country and perhaps indoors."
