INTRODUCTORY STATEMENT This inventory, No. 121, records the plant material (Nos. 106561-107747) received by the Division of Plant Exploration and Introduction during the period from October 1 to December 31, 1934. Much of this material may be credited to the agricultural exploring expeditions that were in the field, all of which were engaged in special projects for the Department. Of the nearly 2,000 lots of seeds collected by Messrs. Westover and Bnlow, a large proportion are from regions in Turkistan and Turkey where the low winter temperatures and scanty rainfall make it appear probable that plants growing under those conditions would be able to withstand the similar climatic conditions in many parts of our Western and Southwestern States. The' plant material collected, which consists largely of grasses, leguminous plants, and local strains of vegetables, will also be useful, in large part, for the replanting of areas denuded by erosion. Similar comments may be made on the results of the Asiatic expedition con- ducted by H. G. MacMillan and J. L. Stephens, as the result of which about 60 lots of seeds and plants of grasses and other forage plants were introduced. Through the courtesy of the Botanical Institute at Ashkhabad, Turkmenistan, Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, the Bureau received 83 lots of seeds, mostly grasses and leguminous perennials and shrubs, and including several species never before introduced (Nos. 106828-106838, 106842-106913). Judging from their native habitat, many of these should be of use in the western and southwestern sections of the United States. An expedition to the Balkan countries, made by Dr. Edgar Anderson, of the Arnold Arboretum, Jamaica Plain, Mass., resulted in the introduction of 33 lots of seeds of ornamental trees and shrubs (Nos. 107622-107644, 107720-107729). While many of these already are known in cultivation, the fact that the seeds were taken from plants growing in unusually cold, dry situations will, it is believed, extend northward their possible growing range in this country. Many Australian plants have become acclimated to southern California and other parts of the Southwest. That part of the United States should benefit, 41862—38 1 2 PLANT MATERIAL INTRODUCED ultimately, through the introduction of 51 lots of seeds from New South Wales (Nos. 106678-106723), presented by Albert Morris, of Broken Hill. These in- clude browsing plants of the genera Acacia and Atriplex, and several new or little-known shade trees and ornamental shrubs. The botanical determinations of seeds have been made and the nomenclature determined by Paul Russell, who has had general supervision of this inventory. B. Y.

1 It 'should be understood that the names of varieties of fruits, vegetables, cereals, and other plants used in this inventory are those under which the material was received when introduced by the Division of Plant Exploration and Introduction, and, further, that the printing of such names here does not constitute their official publication and adoption in this country. As the different varieties are studied, their entrance into the American trade forecast, and the use of varietal names for them in American literature becomes necessary, the foreign varietal designations appearing in this inventory will be subject to change with a view to bringing the forms of the names into harmony with recognized horticultural nomenclature. It is a well-known fact that botanical descriptions, both technical and economic, seldom mention the seeds at all and rarely describe them in such a way as to make possible identification from the seeds alone. Many of the unusual plants listed in these inventories are appearing in this country for the first tima, and there are no seed samples or herbarium specimens with ripe seeds with which the new arrivals may be compared. The only identification possible is to see that the sample received resembles seeds of other species of the same genus or of related genera. The responsibility for the identification, therefore, must necessarily often rest with the person sending the material. If there is any question regarding the correctness of the identification of any plant received from this Division, herbarium specimens of leaves and flowers should be sent in so that definite identification can be made. 3 PLANT MATERIAL INTRODUCED
