          36049. TRICHOLAENA ROSEA. 
Natal Redtop. From Angola,
Africa, through Wm. C. Bell. A hay
grass considered of value in the tropics
generally. A rank species, growing
in deserted fields on poor, dry soil.
Oxen are fond of it and, if cored early,
good hay is made of it. Deserves trial
as this is possibly a different strain
from others already tested.

36150. UGNI MOLINAE. Murta.
From Valdivia, Chile, through W. F.
Wight. Wild shrub, closely related to
Eugenia; four to eight feet high; ornamental 
foliage; very palatable, aromatic, 
edible berries, one-fourth to
one-half inch in diameter. Sold on
markets in towns of Chile; a sweetmeat 
or "dulce'' is made from them
which is considered excellent. Suited
probably to Florida and California.

32830. ULMUS DENSA. Elm.
From Oasis of Merv, Russian Turkestan, 
through Frank N. Meyer. Ornamental 
tree with globular head when
young, but becoming picturesque when
old. Strong grower, requiring plenty
of room. Called locally "Kitaisky'',
indicating possible Chinese origin.
Stands extreme heat and some alkali.
Worthy of trial in southwest and
Great Plains with American elm.
