Hab. Canada. Mr. Goldie. Mr. Cleghom, Pursh, (according to a specimen communicated by Mrs. 

 Sheppard.) Lake Huron. Dr. Todd. — This appears to bold the place in the more Northern parts, which 

 Tj.fiava does in the South; of which, indeed, Dr. Torrey suspects it to be a variety.

Hab. «. and /3. frequent in Cauada, and as far North as the Saskatcbawan : and from Hudson's Bay to 

 the Rocky Mountains. — This varies exceedingly in the colour of its flowers, and some of my specimens have 

 their leaves downy with short hairs beneath : so that I cannot help fearing that the following may be only 

 a variety of it. 



3. L. Douglasii; ramis volubilibus, foliis ovalibus utrinque acutis petiolatis glabris 

 ciliatis extus tomentosis summis connatis, floribus capitato-spicatis, stigmate exserto, stamini- 

 bus inclusis. De Cand. Prodr, v. 4. p. 332. — Caprifolium DouglasiL Lindl. in Hort.

Hab. Banks of the Saskatcbawan. Douglas. (Lindl.) — The only specimen of a perfoliate leaved Honeyr 

 suckle, which I possess from Mr. Douglas, gathered on the East side of the Rocky Mountains, is the 

 pubescent leaved var. of L. parviflora, which at first sight has indeed the appearance of a distinct species, 

 but which may be seen gradually passing into the usual glabrous appearance of the «. The great size of the 

 leaves, (six to seven inches long,) mentioned by Mr. Lindley, is probably owing to cultivation. 



4. L, occidentalis ; volubilis, foliis ovalibus subsessilibus glabris ciliatis subtus glaucis 

 summis connato-perfoliatis, floribus verticillato- capital is, corollis glabris tubo elongato 

 supra basin inflato-gibboso limbo subeequali, staminibus subinclusis, Caprifolium occidentale.

Hab. About Fort Vancouver, on the Coliunbia. Douglas. — This beautiful Honeysuckle is a great 

 acqmsition to our gardens : it is quite different from any of the above species ; and if the presence and 

 absence of hairs on the corolla are to be depended on, it is also different from the following species. It 

 inhabits nearly the same country. The flowers are longer than any other British North American species, 

 and of a full orange red.
