According to some of the Cali- fornia nursery companies, it is grown in that state under the name Dattier de Beyrough, al- though it would seem from French descriptions that there is a separate, very late variety of the latter name. Rosaki is similar to Malaga, and there is a possibility that in some of the warmer parts of the East it may be grown commercially as a substitute for the latter. The variety seems to be little grown on the Pacific slope. Vine vigorous, usually very productive. Leaves large, roundish, rugose, usually o-lobed; terminal lobe acumi- nate : petiolar sinus moderately deep to deep, medium
