A WILD RED RASPBERRY FROM THE VOLCANO OF TUNGURAHUA. 
(Rubus sp., S. P. I. No. 53218.) 
This raspberry, of which a fruiting branchlet is here shown in 
natural size, grows on the slopes of the Ecuadorean volcano 
Tungurahua, between elevations of 9,000 and 13,000 feet. 
Its fruit is deep red in color and of pleasant subacid flavor. 
The plant is a vigorous grower, sending up canes 10 feet or
