A native of the north-west coast of North America, 
where it was found abundantly by Mr. David Douglas, in 
the neighbourhood of Fort Vancouver. 
It is a hardy, deciduous, twining shrub, with very orna- 
mental orange-coloured flowers, but not good foliage; that 
is to say, the leaves have, when in greatest health, a grayish 
appearance, and if at all sickly, which they are apt to be, 
acquire an unpleasing yellowish hue. It flowers abund- 
antly in June, July, and August. In stature, and also in 
the cultivation it requires, it resembles the common Honey- 
suckle, but is more tender.
