11645. MANGIFERA INDICA. Cambodiana mango. From
Saigon, Cochin China, through M. E. Haffner. A long, compressed,
beaked fruit about 8 ounces in weight and deep yellow in color.
Seems to be more productive than most Indian mangos and of a
distinctive flavor; quality good.  Buds from seedling in the Miami
garden.

23426. MANGIFERA INDICA. Itamaracá mango. From
Dr. Bello, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.  Introduced in 1908.  Fruit small,
flattened vertically, 2¾ inches in largest diameter; greenish yellow,
overspread with dull crimson; fairly rich flavor and fine texture;
some fiber, but juicy; develops fine aroma when properly ripened;
matures July to August; fairly productive.  An attractive variety,
but rather subject to disease and possibly not of commercial value.

29333. MANGIFERA INDICA. Haden mango. Seedling of
the original Gale Mulgoba tree planted in 1902, at Cocoanut Grove,
Fla., by Capt. F. P. Haden.  Fruit showiest of varieties yet fruited
in Florida, apricot yellow overspread with rich crimson, skin thick,
flesh firm, very juicy, texture a trifle coarse, fiber sometimes 
objectionable; flavor good to very good; occasionally weighing 24 ounces;
ripens in July; tree productive; fairly disease resistant.

39338. MANIHOT DICHOTOMA. Maniçoba. From Dr. V.
A. Argollo Ferrão, Bahia, Brazil.  One of the Brazilian rubber trees,
the source of Jequie rubber.  The tree is exceedingly variable in
leaf and growth.  It will not stand frost, and requires a rainy sea-
son in summer.  It ordinarily requires a year's growth before being
tapped.

39340. MANIHOT HEPTAPHYLLA. Rubber tree. From
Dr. V. A. Argollo Ferrao, Bahia, Brazil.  Tree 20 to 25 feet high,
with dark-brown bark and purplish twigs.  Seeds larger and paler
than those of the Ceara rubber (M. glaziovii).  Reported as pro-
ducing a very good quality of rubber.  One of the so-called Manitoba
rubber trees, native of South America.

39339. MANIHOT PIAUHYENSIS. Remano Maniçoba rubber 
tree. From Dr. V. A. Argollo Ferrao, Bahia, Brazil.  Tree
described as reaching a height of 8 to 16 feet; branches forked 2 to
3 times. Reported superior to Ceara rubber (M. glaziovii) in yield
and quality of produce.  Seeds are larger than those of the former
species, less hard and horny, and germinate more readily.

42718. MAXIMILANEA sp. Presented by H. M. Curran, Cartagena, 
Colombia.  Small tree or shrub related to the annatto tree
(Bixa orellana).  The flowers of the known species are large, showy,
and of a bright or golden-yellow color, produced in the axils or in
large terminal clusters.  Leaves palmately divided, sometimes with
fingerlike lobes.
