103488. ERANTHEMUM NERVOSUM. (Acanthaceae. ) From India. Collected in Bhadwar, 

 Kangra, and presented by Walter Koelz, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. A shrub 

 5 feet high v/ith opposite large dark-green rugose leaves, found growing in moist 

 shady situations at an altitude of 2,000 feet. The numerous royal-blue flowers are 

 borne in winter on axillary and terminal spikes, in the axils of large, prominently 

 nerved bracts. A fine plant for winter flowers. For trial under glass, or outdoors 

 in the warmest parts of Florida and California. (Glenn Dale, Md.)

 sented by the Director, Government Experiment Station, Kosozi, Ruanda-Urundi Terr. 

 An evergreen shrub 1-g- to 2 feet high. The rose-lavender flowers, resembling those 

 of Eupatorium, are in dense paniculate corymbs, several inches across, and are pro- 

 duced over a long period under glass in the winter. For trial under glass or in the 

 warmest parts of southern California and southern Florida. (Chico, Calif.) 



123852. ERYTHRINA FLABELLIFORMIS. (Fabaceae.) From New Mexico. Collected by L. N. 

 Goodding, Soil Conservation Service. A low, deciduous shrub, 2 to 4 feet high, in- 

 habiting the upper foothills of the isolated mountain ranges of the Southwest. The 

 bright-scarlet flowers are in terminal racemes, and the seeds range in color from 

 cream through yellowish or coffee-color to bright scarlet. In the fall, it is con- 

 spicuous with bright-yellow leaves. It will probably prove more hardy than the exotic

 rostrata and E. rudis which has become naturalized in North Africa and now covers 

 considerable areas of the hills around Algiers. It is remarkable for its rapid growth, 

 E. alg eriensis differs from E. rudis by its smooth trunk and from E. rostrata in its 

 white buds. At Chico, Calif., trees of this species 40 feet high have withstood a 

 minimum temperature of 12° F., with only light injury to leaves and tips of branches.
