INTRODUCTORY STATEMENT This inventory, No. 124, records the plant material (Nos. 111858 to 112306) received by the Division of Plant Exploration and Intro- duction during the period from July 1 to September 30,1935. In order to assist Department pathologists who are attempting to develop disease-resistant tobacco varieties for the United States, W. A. Archer spent several months traveling through Mexico, collecting seeds of all available types of cultivated tobacco from many widely separated sections in that country. A special collection of desert shrubs and perennials (Nos. 112043 to 112051) from the Kepetek Sand Desert Station, sent in as the result of the agricultural explorations of H. L. Westover and C. R. Enlow, are for testing by specialists in the Soil Conservation Serv- ice of this Department. Mrs. Ynes Mexia,1 to whom the Department has been indebted for a number of rare from eastern Ecuador, was still carrying on botanical explorations in that country during the autumn of 1935. Included in four shipments of seeds sent in by Mrs. Mexia were two lots of local alfalfa varieties (Medicago saUyty Nos. 111968 and 112216) and several rare ornamentals. Ten shipments of varieties, introduced from , Uru- guay, and the Union of South Africa, and representing local strains developed in those countries, are intended for the use of plant breeders who are attempting to develop better oil-producing varieties. From Auckland, New Zealand, H. R. Wright sent in to the Depart- ment plants of 13 varieties, including new local forms of peach,

iDied July 11, 1938. 157660—40 1 2 PLANT MATERIAL INTRODUCED apple, pear, oriental persimmon, and mandarin orange (Nos. 112053- 112065). These, of course, are destined for trial in the Southern States and the Pacific coast, where some of Mr. Wright's earlier intro- ductions have already become successfully established. The tropical hibiscus, one of the characteristic ornamental plants of the warmer parts of both the Old World and the New World, suc- ceeds outdoors throughout most of Florida, where it is one of the most popular dooryard plants. It is of special interest to Florida gardeners, therefore, to record the introduction of a collection of 28 hibiscus varieties from Puerto Rico (Nos. 111886-111913). These are the results of crosses made by T. B. McClelland while at the Puerto Rico Agricultural Experiment Station at Mayaguez. The botanical determinations of seeds introduced have been made and the nomenclature determined by Paul Russell, who has had gen- eral supervision of this inventory. B. Y.

2 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 identi- fication from the seeds alone. Many of the unusual plants listed in these inventories are appearing in this country for the first time ,and there ar eno seed samples or herbarium specimens with ripe seeds wijh which the new arrivals may be compared. The only iden- tification 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.
