38708. Claucexa laxsiu^i (Lour.) Skeels. Rutaceae. Wampi. 

 {Clausena warn pi Oliver.) 

 From Honolulu, Hawaii. Presented by Mr. E. V. Wilcox, Hawaii Experi- 

 ment Station. Received July 9, 1914. 

 " These seeds were kindly donated to the station by Mr. A. J. Campbell, of 

 Honolulu, who has a wampi tree which bears a heavy crop of excellent fruit." 

 ( Wilcox. ) 



"A low, spineless tree, with spreading branches; leaves spirally arranged, 

 pinnate ; leaflets 5 to 9, ovate elliptical, 3 to 5 inches long, petiolate, light green, 

 shiny above; flowers 4 to 5 parted. smoU, white, in large terminal panicles; 

 ovary villous, 5-celled, with 1 ovule in each cell ; style short ; stamens 10 ; fruit 

 ovate globose, about 1 inch long; skin glandular, pubescent; seeds green. The 

 wampi is a native of southern China, where it is commonly grown for its fruits. 

 It is cultivated to some extent in Hawaii and could probably be grown in the 

 warmer parts of Florida and California. It can be grafted on grapefruit and 

 other species of Citrus, which makes it desirable to test it as a stock for common 

 citrous fruits. (IF. T. Swingle. In Bailey, Standard Cyclopedia of Horti- 

 culture.) 



38709 to 38731. 



From Angeles National Forest, Cal. Presented by the Forest Service, 

 Department of Agriculture, Washington, D. C, on the conclusion of 

 eucalyptus planting in the national forests. Notes adapted from A. J. 

 McClatchie, Eucalypts Cultivated in the United States, Bulletin 35, 

 Bureau of Forestry, are given abridged credits, with page citations. 

 Most, if not all. of this seed was collected from California-grown trees. 

 38709 to 38730. Eucalyptus spp. Myrtacese. 



38709. Eucalyptus alpina Lindley. Alpine g-um. 



This tree, which is commonly known as the Alpine gum, is a small 

 evergreen tree which reaches a height of 10 or 15 feet. The flowers 

 are sessile in the leaf axils, and solitary or few. They are white in 

 cok)r. This rare and interesting alpine species might possibly do well 

 for street planting. (Adapted from W. R. Guilfoyle, Australian 

 Plants, and Bailey, Cyclopedia of American Horticulture.)
