VIGNA UNGUICULATA. 27586. From Honolulu, Hawaii. Presented by 
Mr. F. G. Krauss. "Wilcox, A cowpea which, so far as I have 
been able to determine, originated in our trials of 1907, 
either as a mutant or rogue. As it does not resemble any of 
the half dozen varieties we have been growing in recent years, 
I do not think it is a hybrid. It is far ahead of anything we 
have grown in cowpeas. In the fully developed form before dry- 
ing the pods are a beautiful deep crimson." (Krauss.) For
