53690. COTONEASTER BACEMIFLORA (Desf.) Koch. 



A low shrub from northern Africa and western Asia, with roundish 

 leaves slightly hairy beneath, and short-stalked cymes of white 

 flowers followed by red fruits. 



Received as Cotoneaster fontanesii, for which C. racemiflora is 

 the earlier name. 



For previous introduction, see S. P. I. No. 44082. 



53691. COTONEAS'fEE ROTtJNDIFOLIA Wall. 



An ornamental Himalayan shrub, 4 to 5 feet high, clothed with 

 dark-green, partially evergreen leaves. The small deep-scarlet ber- 

 ries are freely borne and are said to be less attractive to birds than 

 those of other cotoneasters, so that the bushes retain their beauty 

 much longer. 



For previous introduction, see S. P. I. No. 47665. 



53692. Cotoneaster rotundifolia Wall. 



Received as Cotoneaster prostrata, for which C. rotundifolia is 

 an earlier name.

53694. Cotoneaster salicifolia rugosa (E, Pritz.) Rehd. and Wils. 



"A very handsome Chinese shrub having long pendulous branches 

 covered with much-wrinkled lanceolate leaves which have the under 

 surface covered with down. The berries are small, globular, and 

 bright scarlet. They are borne in clusters and. combined with the 

 autumn tints of the foliage, produce a very pretty effect." {Journal
