41651. EUGENIA DOMBEYI. Grumichama. From H. M.
Curran, Brazil.  Ornamental shrub or small tree with edible fruits,
which have an agreeable, sweet flavor, are used in preserves, and in
the preparation of fermented beverage.  The wood is used in carpentry 
and cabinetmaking.  The small aromatic and astringent
leaves are said to be used medicinally.

18566. EUONYMUS JAPONICUS. Collected by F. N. Meyer,
near Hangchow, Chekiang, China. A decumbent evergreen Euonymus, 
with large dark-green leaves.  Of value in the mild-wintered
sections of the United States as an ornamental plant to clothe trunks
of large trees and as a cover for stone and brick walls facing north
or east.

40698. EUONYMUS NANUS. From F. N. Meyer, Taochow,
Kansu, China. A small species of spindle wood of decumbent
habit, found in shady places amongst scrub and moss, at altitudes
of 7,000 to 9,000 feet.  Leaves small, lanceolate, apparently ever-
green.  The scarlet-coated seeds hang gracefully from the large
fruits.  Of value as a rockery plant for cold regions.

EUONYIVIUS PATENS. Spreading shrub (to 10 feet in height),
with handsome foliage often remaining on the branches throughout
mild winters.  Abundant late-ripening fruits pink with orange seeds.
This shrub is closely allied to E. japonicus, but differs notably in the
thinner semievergreen leaves.  Hardy as far north as New York and
in sheltered places in Massachusetts.

40581. EUONYMUS RADICANS ACUTUS. From Vicary
Gibbs, Elstree, Herts, England. A euonymus from western China,
which resembles E. radicans, but is easily distiaguished by its large,
thinner leaves, which are distinctly veined beneath.  The plant lies
flat on the ground, forming a mat of green.  Suitable for planting
under trees.  Hardy.

38237. EUONYMUS sp. From F. N. Meyer, Tchangpai, Shensi,
China. Shrub, or, when not molested, small to medium-sized tree.
It is an excellent bank binder and withstands drought to a remarkable 
extent.  Also able to withstand some alkali.  Under cutting it
seems to spread rapidly.  Deserves trial as a bank and soil-binding
plant in the semiarid sections of the United States.

40719. EVODIA RUTAECARPA. From. F. N. Meyer, near
Tchanlienli, Shensi, China. Medium-sized tree with handsome
pinnate leaves, bearing large umbels of whitish flowers followed by
bunches of dark red fruits.  Found in somewhat stony places.  For
trial as an ornamental tree in sections of the United States where
the winters are mild.
