The seed? of this spreading leguminous Chinese shrub were received 
under the name Sophora viciifolia, which was published by Hance in 
1881. However, in 1796 Salisbury had published the name Sophora 
viciaefolia for the plant now generally known as Virgilia capensis. As 
it is not allowable to use the same specific name more than once in the 
same genus. Sophora viciifolia Hance is rejected as a homonym. The 
next name applied to this species was Sophora moorcroftiana davidi. 
Franchet; and as it is considered to be distinct frum the Indian plant, 
S. moorcroftiana, it is here raised to specific rank. 
Sophora davidi was found by Hance in the vicinity of Ichang, in the 
province uf Hupeh, and is also known to grow in the province of Shensi, 
in China.

33068. X Physalis bunyardi Hort. 
"This is a cross between Physalis francheti and P. alkekengi. The 
colored calyces are much less in size than those of P. francheti, and in 
general appearance the hybrid is about intermediate between the parents. 
When the growths are cut and the calyces fully colored, the leaves are 
still in a fresh condition, and for this reason as well as for the less stiff 
character of the shoots as compared with P. francheti, the hybrid may 
be more valued for use in decorative purposes." (Gardeners' Chronicle, 
vol. 38, 1905, p. 315, fig. 123.) 
33069 and 33070. Diospyros kaki L. f. Persimmon.

Cuttings of the following: 
33069. Eassaku. 
33070. Mishiradzu. "I have grown this variety in my garden for several 
years and regard it as one of the very best. It is a prolific bearer (the name 
signifies that the tree takes no thought of itself), it is rich in flavor, very 
sweet, and not astringent. In size and appearance it resembles Gema."
