INTRODUCTORY STATEMENT Inventory no. 112 lists the introductions (nos. 100468-101157) received by the Division of Foreign Plant Introduction during the period from July 1 to Septem- ber 30, 1932. It records the further kindness of Maj. Lionel de Rothschild and the Honorable Henry MacLaren in presenting additional seeds from the sixth Forrest expedition to southwestern . Nos. 10072^-100798, Solatium tuberosum, collected by C. O. Erlanson and H. G. MacMillan, represent the last collection from that expedition to South America, together with various miscellaneous collections (100688-100709, 100713-100718, 100833-100837) gathered in the same territory. The principal collections represent very large special collections made for Department specialists, as, for example, two sugar collections, one from Charles H. Thrall, Habana, Cuba (101115-101130), and one from the experiment station of the Hawaiian Sugar Planters' Association, (10102^-101057); forage , chiefly grasses, from New Zealand (100660-100676), and from Wales (100678- 100681); a collection of cinchona, Guatemalan cuttings, from Colonel Ruehl (100799-100832); and seeds purchased from the Hindustan Nursery Co., Calcutta, India (100986-100988), and the Chandra Nursery, Rhenock, Sikkim State, Bengal (101064). The botanical determinations of these introductions have been made and the nomenclature determined by the late H. C. Skeels,1 who 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 neces- sary, 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 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 of the same 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 correct- ness 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
