65018. ADENOCARPUS FOLIOLOSUS . From Mercedes, Teneriffe, Canary Islands, at an 

 altitude of 2,300 feet. An upright leguminous shrub 6 to 18 feet high, in general 

 habit like a genista with crowded branches and leaves. The small numerous yellow 

 flowers, in compact terminal racemes, appear in May and June. The ornamental value 

 of the plant, however, is mainly in its foliage. Seeds do not sprout without treat- 

 ment, but the plant may be propagated from cuttings taken with a heel in early fall.

 Ida 7/. Richardson, Perth. An evergreen shrub 6 to 10 feet high, with narrow-lobed 

 or deeply serrate leaves, and large purple-lilac flowers in May and June. It may be 

 grown in full sunlight or partial shade. Seeds germinate readily after a resting 

 period under dry conditions. Plants should be kept well cut back during the first 

 summer, and thereafter should be cut back each year, after flowering, to the heavy 

 framework previously established. The plant usually requires support. For trial in 

 the warmer parts of California and the Gulf region. (Chico, Calif.)
