SYNOPSIS OF THE GENUS LONICERA. 61 
This species seems to be the only one in this subsection 
which has the ovary regularly three-celled, but in all other 
characters, except its saccate corolla, it shows a close rela- 
tion to L. Tangutica and its allies. 
21. L. longa, spec. nov. 
Upright shrub with rather short branches appearing 
usually knotty on account of the very short internodes and 
the persistent bud scales; terminal winter bud ovate-lan- 
ceolate, about 6 mm. long, consisting of several lanceolate 
scales. Leaves oblong-obovate to oblong-oblanceolate, 
4—8 cm. long, gradually narrowed into a short, pilose peti- 
ole, 2-4 mm. long, acute or acuminate, ciliate and spar- 
_ ingly appressed-pilose on both sides, more densely beneath 
along the veins, dull green above, grayish-green beneath 
and with the midrib and the 4-6 pairs of secondary veins 
prominent. Flowers unknown; fruits on slender upright, 
pilose peduncles about 2 cm. long; berries wholly con- 
nate, about 6 mm. across, purple, with few seeds 2 mm. 
long; bracts lanceolate, shorter than the fruit; bractlets 
wanting; calyx apparently small and indistinctly toothed.

There can be little doubt that this species belongs with 
the group of L. Tangutica and L. microphylia and though 
the flowers are unknown, the foliage is distinct enough to 
warrant its description as a new species.
