36049. TRICHOLAENA RO^ 

 SEA. Natal Redtop. From Angola, 

 Africa, through Wm. C. Bell. A hay 

 grass considered of value in the tropics 

 generally. A rank species, growing 

 in deserted fields on poor, dry soil. 

 Oxen are fond of it and, if cured early, 

 good hay is made of it. Deserves trial 

 as this is possibly a different strain 

 from others already tested. 



36150. UGNI MOLINAE.Murta. 



From Yaldivia, Chile, through W. F. 

 Wight. Wild shrub, closely related to 

 Eugenia; four to eight feet high; or- 

 namental foliage; very palatable, aro- 

 matic, edible berries, one-fourth to 

 one-half inch in diameter. Sold on 

 markets in towns of Chile; a sweet- 

 meat or *'duice" is made from them 

 which is considered excellent. Suited 

 probably to Florida and California. 



32830. ULMUS DENSA. Elm. 



From Oasis of Merv, Russian Turk- 

 estan, through Frank N. Meyer. Orna- 

 mental tree with globular head when 

 young, but becoming picturesque w^hen 

 old. Strong grower, requiring plenty 

 of room. Called locally "Kitaisky", 

 indicating possible Chinese origin. 

 Stands extreme heat and some alkali. 

 Worthy of trial in southwest and 

 Great Plains with American elm.
