56825. LUCULIA sp. From Yunnan, China. Collected by J. F. Rock, 
Agricultural Explorer. A handsome shrub 6 to 18 feet high which grows 
on the Shweli-Salwin Divide in rain forests at altitudes of 6,000 to 
8,000 feet. The bright-green leaves have reddish stems and the rich-

54082. X MALUS ARNOLDIANA. Apple. Presented by the Arnold Arboretum, Jamaica Plain, Mass. Seedlings of a hybrid of M. floribunda 
which originated in the Arboretum. Because of its large, pink, long-
stemmed flowers and yellow fruits, the original hybrid is deemed a fine 
ornamental. The seedlings may, however, not reproduce the characters 
of the hybrid parent tree.

Collected by H. C. Skeels, of this Office. Seedlings of S.P.I. 24366 
grown in the orchard at the Geneva Experiment Station. This number 
was originally sent from the Arnold Arboretum, Jamaica Plain, Mass., by 
Jackson Dawson, who recommended it as a crab apple with unusual keeping qualities.

54083. MALUS BACCATA JACKII. Siberian Crab Apple. Presented by 
the Arnold Arboretum, Jamaica Plain, Mass. A handsome tree, native to

of bright-red flowers and holds its small fruits well into the 
winter.

49038. MALUS PRUNIFOL1A. Apple. Cuttings collected by H. E. Allanson, 
at Rochester, New York. This was long considered to be a hybrid between 
the common apple and the Siberian crab; but, though not known 
outside of cultivation, it is now recognized as an independent species. 
The flowers are white and the green, yellow, or red fruits are about 
one inch in diameter.

54086. MALUS PRUNIFOLIA RINKI. Apple. Presented by the Arnold Arboretum, Jamaica Plain, Mass. A small tree native to China, with pink 
or pinkish white flowers which are in turn followed by yellow edible 
fruits often 2 inches in diameter. This apple is not common in cultivation 
and should prove of interest to horticulturists.

53380. MALUS PUMILA. Paradise Apple. Presented by Joseph Mazanek, 
Bohemia, Czechoslovakia. A bushy apple growing usually about 5 
feet in height. It is native to the Caucasus, whence it has been introduced
