PASSIFLORA PINNATISTIPULA. (Passif loraceae . ) 33813-814. 
Seeds of tumbo from Chile. Received through Mr. Jose D. 
Husbands, Limavida, Chile. "The wild fruiting sort of Chile. 
Ah elegant vine with pink flowers and long stems to which the 
light yellow fruit hangs. It is somewhat smaller than the 
Peruvian pasionaria but is of the same flavor. Fruit 2 to 2£ 
inches in diameter. Will not bear frost." (Husbands.) For 
distribution later. 
RUBUS SP. (Rosaceae.) 34045. Seeds from Nice, France. 
Presented by Dr. A. Robertson Proschowsky. "This is a plant 
whose origin is unknown to me. Three years ago a seedling came 
up which was easily seen to be a Rubus. I planted it out the 
following year and it is now a large climber, reaching nearly 
the top of an olive tree. The plant has beautiful evergreen 
leaves, rose-colored flowers, and produces an abundance (several 
kilos)of yellow, very good and juicy fruits. I suppose that 
the plant may possibly be new or rare in culture." (Robertson- 
Proschowsky . ) For distribution later. 
SOPHORA SPP. (Fabaceae.) 33857-862. Seeds from Chile.

TABERNANTHE IBOGA. ( Apocynaceae . ) 34090. Plant from the 
Colonial Garden, Nogent-sur-Marne . Presented by the Director. 
This shrub which is cultivated around dwellings in the Congo 
because of the use of its seeds in native medicine furnishes an 
alkaloid, ibogain, of considerable interest, which is being in- 
vestigated for its possible value. For distribution later. 
TREVOA TRINERVIA. (Rhanmaceae . ) 33815-816. "'Trevu,' 
'Trebu.' A good treelet for live fences if it is cut bac when 
young and large wood growth prevented. It makes a mass of 
thorns on small wood so dense that nothing can pass it. In the 
roads where cart and traffic have pruned the plant they become 
a splendid fence that defies destruction by any class of rough 
usage, soil, extreme drought or perpetually dry conditions. 
The wood is very hard and fibrous. Its clusters of fragrant 
white flowers and leaves are used for soap for washing clothes, 
etc. The wood never grows larger than one's wrist. It is 
extra good fuel." (Husbands.) For distribution later.
