INTRODUCTORY STATEMENT Inventory 110, recording plant material received by the Division of Foreign Plant Introduction between January 1 and March 31, 1932 (nos. 95552^-98256), is conspicuous for two major groups—the one of soybeans containing 1,503 introductions, and the other the collections of the Allison V. Armour expedition to the West Indies and South America on which both David Fairchild and P. H. Dorsett collected for the Division a total of 371 numbers. No two collections could be cited that would more perfectly illustrate the extremes of purposes that have to be pursued. The soybean collection is part of an intensive study of soybean types and varieties inaugurated by P. H. Dorsett and W. J. Morse during their explorations in 1929-30 when this crop was studied in the field. If the present introductions add as much to the advancement of this new crop as the former.introductions have done, this collection, so dryly recorded here, will be of national importance. The other mass of material represents a study of the flora native and introduced of the islands and countries traversed, with the specific intent of establishing as many new plants as possible in the comparable areas about the Gulf of Mexico and in southern Florida. It embraces some duplicates, some one of which may be more suited than the rest for our conditions. Conspicuous among the many subtropical plants, both economic and ornamental in character, are included seeds of many kinds of palms (over 40 numbers) some of them from plants native to the country of collection, others from exotic species established there. Plants raised from these seeds will be planted for testing in the South to determine their suitability for our soils and climates, and added to the present collection at Coconut Grove will make one of the most important collections in the country. Through the courtesy of Maj. Lionel de Rothschild, London, England, the Division has shared in some of the seeds from the last Forrest expedition in China, which sent in, among other things, many rhododendrons; others who have contributed to the rhododendron studies of the Division are the Hon. Henry MacLaren and J. R. Stevenson, who have sent seeds of species and varieties for test as to hardiness. Conspicuous additions of chestnut material from China are comprised in four sets of material (95^31-95648, 95663, 95664, 97853-97857, 98001-98009) from Peter Liu and one from Japan (96390-96420) through R. Kent Beattie from 182749—33 1 2 PLANT MATEEIAL IETTBODUCED the experiment station at Ayabe, the experiment station at Okitsu, and several other points which represent named cultivated varieties and several other trees of supposed merit, the whole to be used in studies now being made by Depart- ment specialists. Many introductions, about 60 in number, were made to add to the maple collection at the United States Plant Field Station, Glenn Dale, Md., where the genus is the subject of several studies. A few miscellaneous introductions appear in this inventory from the special expedition to South America made by C. O. Erlanson and H. G. MacMillan for wild potatoes, the excellent results of which will be recorded in Inventory No. Ill and in subsequent bulletins and papers that will record the successful use of their collected plants in breeding disease-resistant potato varieties. Also related to the general project are the potatoes presented by Dr. V. P. Alekseev (97354-97374), which were developed by him at the Sukhum Subtropical Branch of the AU-Union Institute of Plant Industry, Sukhum, Caucasus. The botanical determinations have been made and the nomenclature deter- mined by H. 0. Skeels, who has had general supervision of this inventory. KNOWLES A.

1 It should be understood that the names of horticultural 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 Foreign Plant Introduction, and, further, that the printing of such names here does not constitute their official publication ana 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, seldomi 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 inven- tories 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 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
