          33716. PIMENTA ACRIS.
From Mr. G. Regnard, Port Louis,
Mauritius. A myrtaceous tree, 45 to
50 feet high, with a straight trunk 15
to 24 inches in diameter. Furnishes a
moderately hard and heavy wood,
fine and compact in texture. From the
dried leaves is obtained the principal
ingredient of bay rum. Fresh leaves
have the taste and odor of lemon.

36529. PINUS DENSIFLORA.
Japan Red Pine. Picturesque park
tree of slow growth, attaining a height
of 50 feet. Not promising for timber
as stems are often crooked. From
seed collected near Mukden, in cold,
dry Manchuria, by Frank N. Meyer.
May prove more drought and cold resistant 
than trees from the moist
climate of Japan.

33466. PINUS LEUCODERMIS. 
Austrian Pine. From K. Baicoucheff, 
Sophia, Bulgaria. Lofty
evergreen tree, 100 feet tall, native of
Balkan States, has dome-shaped
crown, slender trunk and spreading
branches. Grows in poor, chalky soil,
and forms good shelter screens. Timber 
is resinous, elastic, tough, durable,
long-grained, coarse, and easily
worked.
