78436. BRYOPHYLLUM UNIFLORUM. From Madagascar. Collected at Mont Amber, Diego 

 Suarez, by Charles F. Swingle, Bureau of Plant Industry, and Dr. Henri Humbert, Uni- 

 versity of Algiers, Algeria. A trailing plant with opposite, small, roundish, fleshy 

 leaves, dark green with a line of red on the edges. In flower, it is very showy, ^^ 

 producing its large, pendulous, deep wine-red flowers in mid-winter. Unlike many 

 succulents, it seems to prefer a moderately humid, shady location, For trial indoors 

 except in the warmest parts of the Pacific coast and the Gulf region. (Glenn Dale, 

 Md.) 



78427. BRYOPHYLLUM SP.* From Madascar. Collected by Charles F. Swingle, Bureau of 

 Plant Industry, and Dr. Henri Humbert, University of Algiers. Received as Kalanchoe 

 fedtsc he nkoi but the pendulous habit of the flov/ers and the habit of sprouting from 

 the crenations of the leaves indicate that the plant properly belongs in the genus 

 Bryophyllum. A rather small succ\ilent, about 10 inches high, with crenate rounded- 

 oval leaves an inch and a half long, bluish green, overcast with purple, and small 

 purplish flowers in a loose cluster terminating the slender stem. For trial indoors 

 only except in frostless localities, (Glenn Dale, Md,) 



37616. BRYOPHYLLUM CRENATU:.!. * From Scotland. Presented by the Royal Botanic Garden, 

 Edinburgh. Received as Kalanchoe rotundifolia but the pendulous habit of the flowers, 

 with the stamens inserted at the base of the tube, and the habit of sprouting from 

 the crenations of the leaves indicate that it properly belongs in the genus Bryo- 

 phyllum. The plant is a succulent perennial 1 to 3 feet high, with a trichotomously 

 branched slender leafy stem. The fleshy leaves, 1 to 2 inches long, vary from broadly 

 obovate to spathulate and are entire or crenate. The small orange or yellow flowers 

 are borne in axillary clusters. Native to South Africa. For trial indoors only 

 except in the warmest localities in the Gulf region and southern California. (Glenn 

 Dale, Md.) 



12207-2. CALCEOLARIA GRACILIS. (Scrophulariaceae . ) From India. Collected at Dar- 

 jeeling by Walter Kcelz, Bureau of Plant Industry. An annual calceolaria with small, 

 lemon-yellow flowers sparsely dotted with purple, and hairy pinnatifid leaves, grov/ing 

 to about 18 inches in height. Although the flowers are much smaller than those of the 

 florists' calceolaria, they are freely produced in late summer and early fall. For 

 trial in all but the coldest and hottest parts of the United States. (Glenn Dale, 

 Md.) 



116860. CALLICARPA DICHOTOMA,* ( Verbenaceae , ) From Hunan Province, China. Col- 

 lected in a forest at an altitude of 1,860 feet, by A. N. Steward, University of 

 Nanking. A showy deciduous shrub to 5 feet in height, with purplish stems and op- 

 posite, elliptic to obovate leaves If to 3 inches long. The small pink flowers are 

 borne in August in numerous small axillary clusters and are followed in autumn by 

 showy red, berry-like fruits. If the tops are winter-killed the new growth will 

 fruit the first season. For trial in all but the coldest and hottest sections of 

 the United States. (Glenn Dale, Md . ) 



114722. CALLICARPA RUBELLA HEMSLEYANA . From China. Received from Szechwan Province, 

 through the Botanic Garden at Nanking. A somewhat coarse, large deciduous shrub or 

 small tree from 10 to 20 feet high. The cordate-oblong, gray-green leaves, 6 to 8
