This was introduced into English gardens by Fortune, on 

 whose authority (Bot. Mag. sub tab. 5709) it was common in 

 gardens at Shanghai, where, however, F. B. Forbes tried in vain 

 to find it.

Closely related to L. Caprifolium, Linn., differing in the 

 longer narrower leaves, fewer larger flowers, and other small 

 details. So far as we know there is no allied species nearer 

 than the Caucasus, the American species of this group being 

 less like the present plant.
