22486. CORYLUS AVELLANA. Filbert, Barcelona.  From
Mrs. Felix Gillet, Nevada City, Cal.  Tree of upright medium
growth.  Good producer.  Blooms about the first week in January in
Oregon.  The husk is short hispid; the nut large, ovate, slightly
compressed; shell moderately thick and rather hard but well filled
by the kernel, which is of very good quality.

33234. CORYLUS AVELLANA. Filbert, Rouge Bonde.  From
Pedro Giraud, Granada, Spain.  A red-kerneled variety not well
known, but seemingly very similar to the Barcelona and Avelline
varieties.

35689. CORYPHA ELATA. Palm. From Manila, P. I., through
O. W. Barrett.  Large tropical fan palm related to the famous
Talipot palm of Ceylon.  Grows 70 feet tall, and then produces 
immense bloom and dies. Leaves of very large size, used for fans, etc.
A very decorative palm for regions like Panama, Porto Rico, and
possibly the Isle of Pines. Coryphas do poorly in Florida.

COTONEASTER spp.  Ornamental shrubs used extensively in
small gardens, for training against walls and over rocks, and for plantings 
near stone steps, etc., because of their attractive foliage, white
flowers, picturesque form, and especially because of the masses of
red, yellow, brown, or black fruits which they bear.

CRATAEGUS PINNATIFIDA.  Large-fruited Chinese hawthorn. 
From F. N. Meyer.  Dense low-branching, well-rounded
tree of 20-foot spread; ornamental in spring and fall.  Cultivated in
orchards by the Chinese, who make delicious jelly similar to crab-
apple jelly from the bright scarlet fruits.  Probably very hardy.
Deserves trial along with native large-fruited American species.  On
C. arnoldiana. (PI. IV.)

3701 1 . CROTALARIA MESOPONTICA. From A. Stolz, Kyimbila, 
German East Africa.  A dense, bushy legume, which grows
very quickly and forms a cushion 2 to 3 feet in diameter. The pendulous 
racemes of bright yellow flowers, striped with brown are 3 to
4 inches long. Should do well in Florida.

36969. CROTALARIA sp. From Bahia, Brazil, collected by
Dorsett, Shamel, and Popenoe.  A leguminous, shrubby plant with
succulent stems; found self-sown in the orange orchards of Brazil.
Said to be particularly suited to dry, semiarid lands.  Try as cover
crop in California.  Root development extensive, nodules abundant;
would decompose rapidly if plowed under at the right time.
