This shrub varies in the form of its leaves and berries ; 
both of which are sometimes rounder, at others more oblong : 
Paxtas figured the latter variety and engraved the name of 
L. altaica on the plate, but in his description acknow- 
ledges it to be only a variety; and in the same piace has 
corrected an error he had made in his Travels, in calling it 
pyrenaica. Several species -of Lonicera bear their flowers 
two together with the berries more or jess united ; but in 
cerulea, the two distinct corollas produce between them a 
single uniformly rounded berry. 
A hardy shrub. - Native of Switzerland, Austria, and 
Siberia. Flowers in March and April, Communicated by 
Joun Watker, Esq. of Arno’s-Grove. _
