          62677 and 62678. DELOSTOMA ROSEUM. Cholan. From Ambato, Ecuador. 
Collected by Dr. Wilson Popenoe, Agricultural Explorer. A small, 
bignoniaceous tree, native to Ecuador, cultivated there occasionally in 
parks and gardens. Its lilac flowers resemble those of the catalpa in 
size and form. Probably sufficiently hardy to be grown in southern 
Florida. (Chapman Field, Fla.)

62677. A form with pale-lilac flowers. 
62678. A form with deep-lilac flowers.

62012. DEUTZIA LONGIFOLIA. From China. Presented by Vilmorin-Andrieux 
& Co., Paris, France. A shrub about 6 feet high, with narrow leaves, 
whitish below, and rosy flowers, about an inch across, produced in rounded 
clusters 2 or 3 inches in diameter. This is considered one of the handsomest 
of the deutzias, and is hardy at least as far north as southern Massachusetts. 
(Bell, Md.)

59705. DEUTZIA sp. From Yunnan, China. Collected by J. F. Rock, National 
Geographic Society, Washington, D. C. A shrub 5 to 8 feet high, with small, 
oval, hairy leaves; the deep-lavendar-purple flowers are in small racemes. 
For trial in all but the coldest sections of the United States. (Bell, Md.)

62416. DEUTZIA sp. From Chihli, China. Collected by P. H. Dorsett, 
Agricultural Explorer. Many of the deutzias are popular ornamental shrubs 
and this hardy Chinese species, not yet identified, may prove of interest 
in this country. Probably hardy except in the extreme north. (Bell, Md.)

61602. DUABANGA SONNERATIOIDES. Lythraceae. From India. Presented 
by G. H. Cave, Curator, Lloyd Botanic Garden, Darjiling. A tall, 
deciduous tree from the cool, mountainous districts of northeastern India, 
which has merit as an ornamental tree because of its large, terminal panicles 
of white flowers. For trial in the Gulf States and California. (Chapman 
Field, Fla.)

59414. ENKIANTHUS sp. Ericaceae. From Tibet, China. Collected by J. F. 
Rock, National Geographic Society, Washington, D. C. A handsome shrub, 
8 to 15 feet high, which grows in southeastern Tibet at an altitude of 
9,000 feet. It has oval, bright-green leaves and bell-shaped flowers, 
yellow with green stripes, produced in large clusters. For trial in all 
but the coldest sections of the United States. (Bell, Md.)

58822. ERIOBOTRYA sp. From Yunnan, China. Collected by J. F. Rock, 
National Geographic Society, Washington, D. C. An attractive shrub, 4 
feet high, related to the Japanese loquat and found in rather dry places 
at 8,000 feet altitude. It has pale-green, roundish, serrate leaves and 
corymbs of carmine fruits. Probably tender north of southern Ohio.
