BAROSMA CRENULATA. 25817. Seed from Cape Town, South 
Africa. Presented "by Mr. Chas. P. Lounsbury. Received 
August 2. "Buchu answers best if sown in time and treated 
in the same way as nursery transplants. In fact this is 
the only way that I ha.ve been able to get it to grow. 
The year before last and last year I put in broadcast sow- 
ings. These in both cases germinated well but the seedlings 
could not stand the summer heat of Jan. and Peb. when they 
practically all died off. In each case these sowings 
were put in in autumn and ground was selected where Buchu 
naturally grows. Bur-hu naturally grows amongst large 
rocks so that the roots go into the ground at the side of 
the rock; this keeps the roots cool and holds moisture 
longer. Buchu grows here at 1500-4000 feet elevation".
