 States. (Glenn Dale, Md.) 



133532. CHAMAEDOREA SP . Palm. From Gautemala. Collected at Alta Verapaz and Peten 

 by 0. F. Cook, Bureau of Plant Industry. A handsome slender palm resembling the 

 preceding (P. I. No. 126975), but with somewhat narrower pinnae. For trial under 

 glass or in the warmest parts of southern United States. (Glenn Dale, Md.) 



1163S8. CHAMAELAUCIUM UNCINATE. (Myrtaceae.) From California. Presented by Eric

135575. CLEMATIS BREVICAUDATA. * (Ranunculaceae . ) From Manchuria. Collected along 

 a mountain stream near Maoershan, E. Harbin, by B. V. Skvortzov. A vigorous climbing 

 vine, native to China and Manchuria, with bipinnate, coarsely toothed leaves. The 

 small white flowers, which come in late summer, are in loose cymes on slender axillary 

 pedicels. The achenes have rather short plumose styles, whence the specific name. 

 For trial throughout the United States. (Glenn Dale, Md.) 



13SC43. COLUTEA SP . (Fabaceae.) From Afghanistan. Collected at an altitude of 

 abcut 8,500 feet, at Burchao Pass, by Walter Koelz, Bureau of Plant Industry. A 

 spreading shrub to 8 feet high. The coluteas are grown for their conspicuous inflated 

 pods which hang on throughout the winter. The yellow or brownish-red flowers, in 

 midsummer, are attractive. It is said that cattle browse the leaves of this species 

 in the fail. For trial from Washington and Philadelphia southward. (Glenn Dale, Md.) 



12939D. CORIARIA SP . * (Coriariaceae . ) From China. Collected near Chungtien, Haba, 

 Yuarian, by T. T. Yu, with the Yunnan Expedition of the Fan Memorial Institute of 

 Biology, and presented by the Arnold Arboretum, Jamaica Plain, Mass. The coriarias 

 are shrubs or herbeceous perennials with attractive foliage and habit of growth. 

 A number of long arching branches are produced at the crown. The showy fruits, 

 which may be red, yellow, or black, constitute the chief ornamental feature of this 

 genus. For trial in the Southern States and on the Pacific coast. (Glenn Dale,
