 A. W. Hill, Director, Royal Botanic Gar- 

 dens, Kew. Received January 17, 1931. 



91231. Corylus chinensis Franch. 



Chinese hazelnut. 



The Chinese hazelnut is closely allied 

 to the Turkish hazelnut (Corylus colur- 

 na), differing in leaf and stem characters. 

 It becomes a tall tree, sometimes over 100 

 feet high, with heart-shaped leaves about 

 7 inches long. The nuts are borne in 

 clusters of four to six. It is native to 

 western China. 



For previous introduction see 73502. 



91232. Corylus colurna L. 



Turkish hazelnut. 



A vigorous free-growing tree up to 60 

 feet in height, with stout, more or less 

 horizontal branches, heart-shaped glossy 

 green leaves 5 inches long, and small 

 hard-shelled nuts inclosed in fleshy hairy 

 green involucres. 



For previous introduction see 86263. 



91233. Corylus jacquemontii Decaisne. 



Hazelnut. 



A tree closely related to C. colurna, but 

 the leaves are distinctly obovate and 

 sharply serrate. It is native to the Him- 

 alayas. 



91234. Pyrus ussuriensis ovoidea 

 Render. Malaceae. Ussurian pear. 



From Carmel, N. Y. Scions presented by 

 Arthur Sullivant Hoffman. Received 

 January 15, 1931. 



A large handsome tree of pyramidal habit, 

 eventually 50 feet high, with sharply ser- 

 rate oval-oblong leaves 3 to 5 inches long. 

 The large pure-white flowers, in few-flow- 

 ered racemes, are borne in such profusion as 

 to make this one of the handsomest of all 

 the pears when in bloom. The deep-yellow 

 ovoid fruits are about 1 inch long. In 

 autumn the leaves turn brilliant scarlet. 

 A native of northern China, this pear is 

 perfectly hardy in the vicinity of Boston, 

 Mass.

 Thouars. Fabaceae. 



From island of Bougainville, Solomon Is-

 manure in the warmer parts of the United 

 States.
