          ALEURITES FORDII.

borne in fruits the size of small apples
yield 28 per cent. of one of the best drying 
oils known. Large importations
made into America. Deciduous tree
with white flowers. Stands frost. Seven
year old tree near Tallahassee, Fla.,
bore one bushel of fruit. Seed not edible.

28597. ALEURITES MOLUCCANA. 
"Candle Nut." From Mr. Wm.
S. Lyon, Manila. Tall tree yielding a
commercial oil of quick drying properties. 
Forms an attractive shade tree
in warm and well protected localities.
Where the seeds are not used for the
extraction of oil, the half-ripe kernels
are considered very palatable when
roasted.

36897. ALEURITES MONTANA. 
Mu-yu wood-oil. From Hong
Kong, China, through Mr. W. J.
Tutcher. A south China species of
wood-oil presumably more tender than
the Tung-yu from the Yangtse valley.
Flowers on wood of current season's
growth after leaves have expanded.
Fruit with much raised ridges. Reported 
to be a better bearer than
Tung-yu in Fokien Province.
