A very rare hardy shrub, discovered by Mr. Douglas 
in the woods of North West America. It is quite different 
from all the other honeysuckles, and is nearly scentless. 
It will not readily grow more than two or three feet 
high, and seems as if it preferred lying prostrate to twining 
round other plants. In common soil it can scarcely be kept 
alive, but in peat and loam it grows as readily as any other 
hardy American plant. 
Our drawing was made in the garden of the Horticultural 
Society in July last.
