80053. Barleeia ltjpulina Lincll. 

 Acanthaceae. 



From St. Croix, Virgin Islands. Seeds pre- 

 sented by J. B. Thompson, Director of 

 the Agriculture Experiment Station of 

 the Office of Experiment Stations of the 

 United States Department of Agriculture. 

 Received May 3, 1929. 

 A compact bush, about 2 feet high, with 

 long narrow dark-green leaves having rose- 

 colored midribs and yellow flowers. It 

 seeds freely, withstands dry weather re- 

 markably well, is easily grown from soft 

 wood cuttings, and makes a very orna- 

 mental hedge. Because of its seeding habit? 

 it is a bad weed if allowed to spread. It 

 might be crossed with Barleria cristata to 

 get a seedless form that would withstand 

 dry weather better and be less subject to 

 scale than the latter.
