INTRODUCTORY STATEMENT This inventory for the period from October 1 to December 31, 1928, contains a large amount of material which was brought in for experimental purposes, and will affect the final cooperative experiments very little, if at all. This is largely true of the plants obtained by the various expeditions that have been in the field for specific purposes. From R. K. Beattie, who is still in the Orient, have been received considerable collections of Japanese persimmon varieties (Diospyros kaki, Nos. 78487 to 78503), Castanopsis spp. (Nos. 78312 to 78316), and Japanese chestnuts (Gas- tanea crenata, Nos. 78003 to 78031), as well as miscellaneous ornamentals and trees. From the Brandes collecting trip in New Guinea has been brought back a large collection of sugarcanes {Saccharum spp., Nos. 77710 to 77816). From Madagascar, Charles F. Swingle has brought back not only Euphorbia intisy (No. 78169), a source of rubber, but a large miscellaneous collection of other species, some of them possibly also sources of rubber, and others merely of interest as ornamentals. Among the latter the most curious and interesting are the Kalanchoes (Nos. 77907 to 77917, 78423 to 78438, and possibly others), which will probably be useful out of doors in the warmest parts of the United States and as pot plants throughout the rest of the country. This is particularly true at the present time when succulents are much in vogue. A large collection of pineapples (Ananas sativus, Nos. 77629 to 77639) was brought together from the Philippine Islands, Federated Malay States, East Indies, and Porto Rico for the Hawaii Agricultural Experiment Station. In addition there are numerous collections of ornamentals obtained mostly by purchase from European sources for comparative varietal studies. Among this group might be mentioned witch-hazel, flowering quince, ceanothus, lilac, philadelphus, box, deutzia, and clematis. Of possible interest to physicians is the Siamese Solatium sanitwongsei (No. 77618), said to be valuable in the treatment of diabetes, and Ephedra gerardima (No. 77607), and E. distachya (No. 77619), possible sources of ephedrine. The botanical determinations have been made and the nomenclature deter- mined by H. C. Skeels, who has had general supervision of this inventory. KNOWLES A.

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 description®,, 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 time, 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 identifications, there- fore, 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 office, herbarium specimens of leaves and flowers should be sent in, so that definite identification can be made. 3 PLANT MATERIAL INTRODUCED
