Fruit of the Mu-yu, the South Chinese Wood-Oil Tree (Aleurites 

 MONTANA (Lour.) Wils.). (S. P. I. No. 36897.) 



A single seed and portions of a dried fruit, showing the characteristic ridges of the 

 outer shell of the fruit, called by the southern Chinese the Mu-yu. This is a more 

 tropical species than the Tung-yu (wood-oil) tree (A.fordii), but its oil is probably 

 quite as valuable. Natural-size'photograph (P13746FS), by E. L. Crandall, December, 

 1913.
