Leaves 3 to 5 em, long and 1.5 to 3 em, wide, smooth above, slightly glaucous 
beneath, not ciliate, generally only the upper pair connate; corolla about 1.5 em. 
long, pubescent on the outside, strongly gibbose at the base of the tube, yellow, 
changing into reddish; stem smooth; bark first green, afterwards grayish straw- 
colored, more or less shreddy. 
It differs from the true L. hirsuta in the smaller leaves, which are perfectly smooth 
above and decidedly glaucous beneath (in L, hirsuta they are seldom glaucous), in the 
corolla, which is more gibbose, and in the smooth and shreddy stem. It may bea 
distinct species. It resembles somewhat L. glauca, from which it differs in the longer, 
hairy, and gibbose corolla. It is sometimes a low shrub, sometimes high-climbing. 
The only specimen in the National Herbarium, except those from the Black Hills, 
was collected by 8, M. ‘Tracy in the Rocky Mountains in 1888 (no locality given). 
In the herbarium of Harvard University are the following specimens: In Dr. Gray’s 
collections, a fragmentary one labeled ‘* Lonicera douglasii F1. Bor. Am. Hooker misit 
January, 1835; and another labeled ‘1. hirsuta var, douglasii Hooker approaching 
glauca.” The others were probably received later, as there are no indications that 
Dr. Gray had ever studied them, viz: Lonicera glauca Mill, Agricultural College, 
Ingham County, Mich., 1860 (no collector given); Ex. Herb. Thurber, coll. T. J. Hale, 
Lonicera douglasii DC., hab, Ripon, Wis., 1861; 150 Lonicera hirsuta (L. douglasii Hook).
