ACACIA ARABICA KRAUSSIANA. (Mimosaceae , ) 51898. Seeds 
from South Africa. Presented by Prof. J. Burtt Davy, Govern- 
ment Agrostologist and Botanist > Pretoria, Natal. "Shrubs 
or small trees of which the pods are eaten by game and stock, 
much as is the case with the mesquit of the Sputhwest. They 
are native of the warm, dry, middle veld, below 4000 feet and 
are usually found in sandy or gravelly soils in regions where 
the rainfall is from 20 to 25 inches, falling in summer * " 
(Davy.) For distribution later. 
ANONA HAMATA. (Anonaceae.) 31891. Seeds from Mexico. 
Presented by Mr. C. B. Waite, Mexico City. "This fruit is not 
a very valuable one in my estimation although it is esteemed 
by the natives. It is fragrant, stringy, yellow, almost 
insipid, and will average in weight about three pounds; it 
has green skin turning brown when ripe, and ripens in August 
and September. The trees are about ten to fifteen feet high. 
The pulp of the fruit clings to the seed like the mango, but 
does not seem to have the strings growing out of the seed 
like the mango, but out of a sheath around the seed. It is 
common from Cordoba to Guatemala." (Waite.) This is a 
new species to be described elsewhere by Mr. W. E. Safford*
