Aeaeia viseo Lorentz. (Mimosaceae . ) 43453. Seeds of 
the viseo from Argentina. Collected by H. M. Curran. 
A tree, native of northern Argentina, commonly un- 
armed, but occasionally with re-curved thorns. The 
leaves consist of three to six pairs of pinnae, and 
the flowers are sessile. The walnut-colored hard wood 
is striped and much appreciated on account of its re- 
sistance to moisture. It is not abundant, and is used 
for all kinds of carpentry. (Adapted from Grisebach, 
Plantae Lorentzlanae , p. 122, and from Lillo, Contri- 
bucion Arboles Argentina, p. 36.) "Timber tree. Yields 
a very hard durable wood but is a small tree of the 
dry regions and should be useful for planting in the 
Mesquite areas of the south-west." (Curran.) 
Achradelpha viridis (Plttier) 0. P. Cook. (Sapotace- 
ae.) 43439. Seeds of injerto from Palin, Guatemala. 
Collected by Mr. Wilson Popenoe, Agricultural Explor- 
er. "No. 46a. Injerto. Seeds from fruits purchased in 
Palin, but said to have been grown at Santa Maria de 
Jesus, between Palin and Antigua. The injerto is a com- 
mon tree in this part of Guatemala. Unlike its near 
relative, the sapote (Lucuma mammosa) , which seems to 
thrive only at comparatively low elevations in the 
tropics, the injerto is grown as high as 5000 or 6000 
feet, and should, therefore, stand a better chance of 
succeeding in California and Florida than the sapote, 
which has, so far, been a failure in those states. 
The tree grows to a height of about 40 feet in this 
region, and has long, slender leaves suggesting those 
of the sapote. The fruits vary somewhat in shape, 
but are commonly round to oval, often pointed at the 
tip. They are two to three and a half inches in dia- 
meter, smooth, dull yellow-green in color, sometimes 
becoming almost dull yellow. The skin is not thick, 
and adheres closely to the flesh, which is red-brown 
in color, soft and melting, sweet with a pleasant 
flavor, somewhat resembling that of the sapote, but 
better. The large seed (sometimes there are two) is 
hard and polished, deep brown in. color, and is easily 
removed from the pulp." (Popenoe.) 
Aeroeomia mexieana Karw. (Phoenicaceae . ) 43484. 
Seeds of a palm from Vlllahermosa, Tabasco, Mexico. 
Presented by Mr. G. Itie, Director, Agricultural Ex- 
periment Station. "Coyol de savdna or eoeoyol. The natives 
use the fruit In making a dessert, cooking it with 
brown sugar. Rings are made from the shell." (Itie.)
