VICIA LEAVENWORTHII. 24205. From Arizona, Deo. 5, 1908. 
"These vetch seeds were oolleoted Sept. 23, 1908, at 
8500 feet altitude in the White Mountains of Arizona. 
The plant in abundant from about 7500 to 9000 feet in 
the open yellow pine forest. It grows as a spreading 
bush 2 feet high and in many places covers the ground 
as an almost solid field of peas loaded with fruit. 
Our horses were very fond of it and ate both pods and 
plant eagerly. For a week they had no other grain and 
ate little else but steadily gained in flesh. It seems 
to be an unusually valuable forage plant." (Vernon Bailey.) 
VITIS VINIFERA. 24312. Grape from Beni Abbes, Africa, 
Deo. 11. "Large late crrapej reproduces itself from 
seed." (Trabut.)
