Amygdalus davidiana. 
Chinese wild peach. 
"A very vigorously growing form of the wild peach 
found in the well- trampled courtyard of a Chinese inn at 
Peking. It is said to be a hybrid. The trunk five feet 
above the ground, measures five feet six inches in circum- 
ference. The Chinese name is 'Mau tau shu, ' meaning 
'Hairy peach tree.'" Photograph by Mr. Frank N. Meyer, 
Peking, China, July 24, 1913. This very vigorous growth 
under decidedly adverse conditions shows the resistance of 
the species and indicates a wider range of usefulness for 
stock purposes than had been suspected. See S.P.I. No. 
36665, p. 710, this bulletin.
