from a nurseryman at Yorba Linda.

The owner of the mother plant Is un­

able to, clear the mystery, as he did

not plant the seed separately, the

plant growing in a patch of other

species. In his opinion, it is a cross

between two species.

The plant at Yojba Linda attained

prominence when Henry Huntlngton,

the Pasadena millionaire, offered

$100 for it.

Tills offer was refused, as the

owner was not sure of- Its valuation

and is now awaiting an opinion of

an expert. Mr. Huntlngton, a noted

collector of plants, was prompted to

make the offer since he bad never

seen a similar specimen in hit) trav­

els all over the world.

Lccal botanists are unable to Had

a name for the specimen or where

it belongs in the plant families.

The stems may be sent to San Fran­

cisco for examination.
