two red ckmmy berries, whicli are joined at tHeir tafe; 

 and ripen the beginning of September. 

 The fecond fore grows naturally upon the Alps; this 

 has been long cultivated in the Englifli gardens, by 

 the title of red-berried upright Honcyfuckle ; this 

 hath a fiiort, thick, woody ftem, which divides into ma- 

 ny ftrong woody branches growing ered^, o-arnifhed 

 with fpear fliaped leaves placed oppofue, ftandina- 

 upon foot-fcaiks ; they are entire, their under fide 

 being of a pale green, but their upper of a dark 

 green. 



The flowers ftand upon very long (lender 

 foot-flalks, which come out oppofite on each fide the" 

 Linna^us's fifth clafs, which includes thofe plants I branches, at the bafe of the leaves ; they are red on 

 whofe flowers have five fl:amina and one fl:yle ; and to I their outfide, but pale v/ithin, lliaped like thofe of the 

 this genus he has joined the Caprifolium, Periclyme- j former fort, but are a little lare:cr, ftandina eredh j 



num, and Xylofteum of Tournefort, and the Sym- 

 phoricarpos of Dillenius. Tournefort places this ge- 

 nus in the fixth fection of his twentieth clafs, in 

 which he ranges the trees and flirubs with a flower of 

 one petal, whofe empalement becomes a berry.
