32780. Bradburya pubescens (Benth.) Kuntze. 
"A leguminous vine being experimented with at Buitenzorg, Java, as a 
green-manure crop. It has much the habit of Bradburya plumieri." 
32781. Apocopis sp. 
"An unknown grass growing in the garden at Buitenzorg, Java, from seed 
collected in New Guinea. It apparently has considerable promise as a pasture 
grass for the extreme southern States." 
32782. Indigofera linifolia (L. f.) Retz. 
From Pusa, India. 
"An annual legume abundant throughout the upper Ganges Valley, and 
also in the Bombay Presidency, India. In some sections it is considered one 
of the best native legume varieties. It should succeed well under southern 
California conditions." 
32783. Zornia diphylla (L.) Pers. 
From Bangalore, India. 
"An annual legume found throughout the upper Ganges Valley and in the 
Bombay Presidency, and of similar value to the preceding number."

Seeds of the following; quoted notes by Mr. Piper: 
32784. Andropogon halepensis (L.) Brot. 
"This is the variety of Andropogon halepensis common throughout the Ganges 
Valley. It is quite different from the ordinary variety of Johnson grass intro- 
duced into this country, having a much larger, looser, drooping panicle, but 
also having the same development of rootstocks and being equally weedy. It 
should be tested with care."

place of publication of this name has not been found.

are red."

which, although injured during the great freezes, has recovered and is now a 
very beautiful shade tree." (David Fairchild.)
