          SCHINUS TEREBINTHIFOLIUS. 
Pepper-tree. Medium sized,
ornamental, evergreen tree, native of
Brazil with very striking foliage,
highly prized for avenue and lawn
planting in mild-wintered regions.
Similar to S. molle, but with stiffer
branches and leaves larger and darker
green.

7688. SCHIZOCENTRON ELEGANS. 
[Formerly HEERIA ELEGANS.] 
From Southern Mexico.
Through Dr. J. N. Rose. Creeping, vine
like plant, forming a dense carpet and
rooting at the joints. Its reddish
branches, deep purple flowers and
small red berries, make it extremely
decorative. In well lighted greenhouses 
it forms a mat under the
benches.

SESAMUM ORIENTALE.
Sesame. Annual, 5 to 7 feet tall, producing 
seeds rich in oil, extracted by
expression. This is mild, bland and
edible, as tasteless as olive oil, often
used to adulterate it. Seeds also used
in making an attractive confection
similar to peanut brittle. Succeeds
well in semi-arid regions and apparently 
well adapted for the southwest.
Pulverize soil before planting.
