40988. CORDIA ALBA. Ateje. From Wilson Popenoe, Trinidad,
Cuba. A large bushy shrub, 15 feet high, branching close to
the ground, sending up long, stiff shoots well furnished with dark-
green foliage. The flowers, which are pale yellow, about one-half
inch across, are borne in broad, flat-topped corymbs sometimes a
foot across. This is apparently a good honey plant and of considerable
ornamental value.

A medium-sized tree, 40 to 50 feet high, native of India, where it is
found at an altitude of 5,000 feet. Its wood is used in boat building,
in the making of agricultural implements, and as fuel. The tree is
vigorous in its growth and forms a handsome rounded crown with
dense bright-green foliage.

Nursery Co., Yokohama, Japan. Small, handsome ornamental Himalayan
