SYNOPSIS OF THE GENUS LONICERA. 13 
about only half as long as the limb, while in the type they 
are almost as long with the filaments much longer than the 
anthers. 
Subsect. 6. Pileatae, subsect. nov. 
Three species from India and central and southwestern 
China, chiefly characterized by the cup-like emergence of 
the calyx and the cupula tightly enclosing the ovaries. 
From the following subsection this group differs in the 
cap-like emergence of the calyx, the winter buds consist- 
ing of several pairs of scales and by the position of the 
flowers which are borne generally in the axils of the 
middle leaves of the branches. The species are low or 
medium-sized, slender-branched shrubs, nearly glabrous, 
except the leaves being usually ciliate and the branches 
puberulous; flowers small, short-peduncled, with almost 
regular or indistinctly two-lipped limb and distinctly 
gibbous tube, pubescent without; style pilose; ovaries 3- 
celled, distinct, with distinctly toothed calyx; cells with 
2~3 ovules; fruit red. 
A. Leaves ovate-lanceolate to lanceolate, acuminate, 5-10 cm. long; 
corolla two-lipped, tube wide, saccate, shorter than limb, lower 
lip more or less reflexed; style shorter than stamens, pubescent 
to the apex. 30. L. gynochlamydea, Hemsl. 
AA, Leaves suborbicular to lanceolate, 0.5-6 cm. long; style exceed- 
ing the corolla, tube rather slender, longer than limb. 
B. Leaves ovate-lanceolate to lanceolate, acuminate, acutish, 2.5-6 
cm. long, leathery, shining above; corolla indistinctly two- 
lipped or with unequal spreading lobes little shorter than the 
prominently gibboustube; filaments shorter than corolla or as 
long. 31. L. ligustrina, Wall. 
BB. Leaves suborbicular to oblong-lanceolate, obtuse, 0.5-2.5 cm. 
long; corolla with almost equal upright limb about one-third 
as long as the gibbous tube; stamens exceeding the corolla, 
about as long as style. 32. L. pileata, Oliv.
