104 AGRICULTURAL VARIETIES OF THE COWPEA, ETC. 



mm. Very similar to 21602, but smaller leaved and more subject 

 to rust. 



21292A. Catjang. This was mixed with 21292 and grown with it in 1909. Bushy, 

 about 2 feet tall ; leaves pale, so badly attacked by rust that several 

 plants were killed; pods rather few, straw colored, 4 inches long, 

 the first maturing in 100 days ; seeds buff, oblong, 3 to 4 by 5 to 6 

 mm. A worthless variety, more badly injured by rust than any 

 other. 



21293. Catjang. From Pimjale Province, India. September, 1907, under the 



vernacular name " Rawan." Low, half bushy, moderately vigorous, 

 the row mass 12 to 15 inches high, 1\ feet broad ; trailing branches 

 rather few, 1 to 3 feet long ; leaflets medium in size and color, con- 

 siderably affected by rust and by red leaf-spot ; flowers pale violet 

 purple; very prolific; pods well filled, held erect, straw colored. 

 4 to 5 inches long, the first maturing in about 80 days; seeds ob- 

 long, cream or pale buff, about 4 by 6 mm. This variety has been 

 grown for several years. It is remarkably distinct, but not of 

 much value. 



21293A. Catjang. Mixed in the preceding. Procumbent, not vining, the row 

 mass 12 to 14 inches high, 2 to 3 feet broad, rather sparse; trail- 

 ing branches rather few, 1 to 2 feet long; leaflets dark, medium 

 sized, much affected by rust and considerably by both red and white 

 leaf spot ; flowers pale violet purple ; pods well filled, held erect, 

 straw colored, 4 to 5 inches long, bursting and coiling readily, the 

 first maturing in about 85 days; seeds small, oblong, pinkish buff, 4 

 by 6 mm. Grown three seasons; not prolific in 1908 but fairly so 

 in 1909 and 1910. Not a valuable variety. 



21293B. Catjang. Mixed in 21293. In size and habit exactly like 21293. The 

 seeds, however, are white with a saddle of vinaceous cinnamon 

 which sometimes extends over the micropylar end, oblong, about 

 4 by 6 mm. Grown for three seasons. 



21293D. Catjang. Mixed in 21293. Procumbent, not vigorous, the trailing 

 branches few, 1 to 3 feet long, not twining; row mass 10 to 14 

 inches high, 30 inches broad; leaflets dark, medium sized, held 

 late, much subject to rust and a little to red leaf-spot; flowers 

 almost white ; quite prolific ; pods well filled, held erect and fairly 

 high, straw colored, 5 to 51 inches long, thin, the first maturing in 

 about 100 days ; seeds oblong, small, about 4 by 6 mm., white with 

 a large black saddle and occasional isolated spots. Grown three 

 seasons; in appearance practically identical to 21293A with buff 

 seeds. (See PI. V.)
