36986. CUDRANIA JAVAN- 

 ENSIS. From S. J. Tutcher, Hong- 

 kong, China. A thorny shrub or tree, 

 which can be utilized for hedges. Re- 

 lated to Osage Orange. Fruits bright 

 orange ; one inch in diameter ; sweet, 

 rather insipid flavor, but quite as 

 good as many others which are eaten. 

 Possibly new hybrids may be pro- 

 duced with Osage Orange, or the 

 Chinese Cudrania tricuspidata. 



'34493. CUDRANIA TRICUS- 

 Pl DATA, Che or Tcho Sang. From 

 central China, collected by E. H. Wil- 

 son. Close relative of Osage orange, 

 with which very vigorous hybrid has 

 been made in France. Leaves con- 

 sidered superior to mulberry for silk- 

 worms, making finer silk. Fruits 

 pink, size of large plum; edible, sweet, 

 but without much character. Hardy 

 in Georgia. 



37383. CUPRESSUS SP. 



Cypress. Collected by Messrs. Dorsett, 

 Shamel and Popenoe, Lavras, Minas, 

 Brazil. A handsome evergreen of 

 somewhat compact, symmetrical habit 

 with graceful slender branchlets and 

 aromatic glaucous foliage. The tree 

 from which cuttings were made was 

 about 20 feet high. A valuable or- 

 namental.
