QUARANTINE AND OTHER OFFICIAL ANNOUNCEMENTS 
ANNOUNCEMENT RELATING TO BLACK STEM-RUST QUARANTINE 
(NO. 38) 
P.Q.C.A.-320 (Second Revision) May 15, 1934. 
REVISED LIST OF BARBERRIES AND MAHONIAS CLASSIFIED UNDER BLACK 
STEM-RUST QUARANTINE REGULATIONS 
In the following revision of the classification of Berberis and Mahonia under 
Quarantine No. 38, Berberis gilgiana and B. sanguined, which were formerly in 
the doubtful list (group D), have been transferred to the list of resistant species 
(group B). This change is based on experimental work carried on by the 
Bureau of Plant Industry which has shown that these two species are highly 
resistant to black stem-rust infection. Another change consists in the addition 
of Berberis buxifolia pygmea to group D, evidence having developed that this 
variety of buxifolia may possibly prove to be susceptible to rust attack. This 
and other species and varieties listed in group D will be transferred to their 
proper places in groups B and C as soon as sufficient experimental data are 
available. 
The rules and regulations supplemental to Notice of Quarantine No. 38, 
revised, provide that no plants, cuttings, stocks, scions, buds, fruits, seeds, or 
other plant parts capable of propagation, of the genera Berberis, Mahonia, or
