Narrative
A very unusual, apparently somewhat old, suckering mass of plants that appear to be allied to C. alba (possibly a hybrid) in bed DGWD-17 that are not identified on any old maps or inventories located so far; the plants are shrubby and have completely unique, somewhat contorted stems. There is no mention of the unusual stem growth in its description, but NA 35276 (C. alba x C. sp., PI-367881, collected by John Creech from Timirazov Ag. Inst. in Moscow) might be considered as a possible identification; a description of other features are found with that record. Most other accessions are unlikely matches for these plants.
