DOUBTFUL SPECIES. | 
Lonicera FiwrAvsoNiANA, Wall. Cat. 6302, was perhaps collected in Cochin- 
China: the specimen is poor, and may be Z. confusa, DC. j 
L. CHINENSIS, CONFUSA and LONGIFOLIA, mentioned by Royle (Lil. 236) as common 
to the Himalaya, China, and Japan, are probably referable to L. macrantha, DC. )
