corymbosely branched, with a. round stem, covered with a 
very pale smooth'bark. Leaves usually in threes, obovately 
lanceolate, smooth except at the edge and middle nerve; sti- 
pules 3, sheathing, alternate with the 3 leaves. Flowers bear- 
ing some resemblance to those of the Trumpet-honeysuckle 
(Lonicera sempervirens), of an orange-scarlet colour, rather 
below an inch in length, and thicker than the diameter of 
arctow-guill, upright, straight, scentless, terminating the 
branches in loosely corymbose panicles ; peduncles freguently . 
trichotomous, and three-flowered; pedicles shorter than co- 
tolla. Tube somewhat quadrangular; limb many times 
shorter, obtuse. Mr. Salisbury, fom whom we have bor- 
rowed nearly the whole of what we have said of the cha- 
racter, mentions two varieties, the one with narrow, the 
other with broad leaves.
