SEEDS AND PLANTS IMPORTED. 



Fig. 1. — Map of Central America and South America, showing Wilson Popenoe's explo- 

 ration routes from 1919 to 1921. A wealth of new plant material resulted from this 

 trip, including the giant Colombian berry from near Bogota ; the Andes berry, many 

 varieties of which are found from Guatemala to Chile; the pejibaye, a staple food of 

 Costa Rica ; a number of choice avocados from the Chota Valley, north of Ibarra, 

 Ecuador; several relatives of the papaya; and a host of other plants recorded in this 

 and the four preceding inventories.
