The Quita Naranjo, Solanum sp., an Ornamental Shrub from the 

 Mountains of Peru. (See S. P. I. No. 41 1 13.) 



The clean, fresh foliage, the clusters of white flowers, and the globular fruits with the habit of growth 

 unite to give this Solanum a remarkable resemblance to the orange tree. It is a shrub attaining 

 a height of 6 to 8 feet, and because of its ornamental value should be tried in the mild-wintered 

 portions of the United States, and perhaps also as a greenhouse shrub. (Photographed by G. B. 

 Gilbert for the Yale-National Geographic Society Peruvian Expedition. Ollantaytambo, Peru, 

 May 18, 1915; natural size; P18110CA.)
