The handsome Honeysuckle which forms the subject of 
our plate was introduced to cultivation by Mr. EB. H. Wilson, 
who obtained it, when collecting on behalf of the Arnold 
Arboretum, in the province of Hupeb, where it had pre- 
viously been met with by Mr. A. Henry, whose specimens 
formed the basis of its original description. It is, however, 
now known to occur also in the provinces of Szechuan and 
Yunnan. The species belongs to the section Nintooa, 
another species of which, L. Giraldii, Rehder, has already 
been figured at t. 8236 of this work. But though nearly 
allied and members of the same natural group, these two 
are readily distinguished, because the leaves of L. Henryi 
are glabrous except on the midrib, whereas those of 
L. Givaldii ave pilose on both surfaces. £. S/enryi has 
been in cultivation in this country at Kew, and in some 
May, 1911.
