SYNOPSIS OF THE GENUS LONICERA. 67 
ters it is connected with ZL. Zberica and other species of the 
two subsections named above which besides resemble it 
strongly in the shape of the cupula, but differ by the two- 
lipped corolla and the three-celled ovary. The cupula, 
however, differs markedly in these three groups: in the 
Chlamydocarpi it does not grow with the ovaries and sur- 
rounds the berries at maturity only at the base, while in 
the two other groups it grows with the ovaries into a fruit 
consisting seemingly of two wholly connate ovaries, but in 
the Vesicariae the cupula is connate at the top with the 
base of the calyx and the fruit is rather dry, in the 
Coeruleae on the other hand, the margin of the cupula is 
free and the blue fruit is juicy. It is remarkable that the 
true nature of the fruit of L. coerulea, the most widely dis- 
tributed species of the genus, has not been revealed until 
quite recently and that the fruit should have been consid- 
ered by all botanists as consisting of two connate ovaries. 
As far as I know E. Koehne* was the first who drew 
attention to the fact that the fruit of LZ. coerulea really 
consisted of two free ovaries tightly inclosed by a cupula. 
Maximowicz, though he discovered the true character of 
the seemingly connate ovaries in a Japanese form of 
L. coerulea, did not recognize its relation to this species, 
but described it as new under the name L. emphyllocalyx.
