SYNOPSIS OF THE GENUS LONICERA. 81 
A small group of four species, all Chinese and appar- 
ently not very widely distributed, nearest related to the 
following group from which it is chiefly distinguished by 
the partly connate ovaries and the shape of the corolla. 
Upright shrubs; the branches furnished with setose re- 
flexed hairs or glabrous; winter buds rather large with two 
outer scales; terminal bud abortive, replaced by two axil- 
lary ones; leaves setosely ciliate, leathery, often subpersis- 
tent; flowers appearing before or with the leaves in the 
axils of the lowest leaves or of the basal bracts of the 
branches, fragrant; peduncles short, bracts lanceolate, 
usually longer than the ovaries; bractlets indistinct, adnate 
to the base of the ovary or obsolete; calyx short, indis- 
tinctly toothed; corolla two-lipped with distinctly gibbous 
tube; filaments and style glabrous; fruit scarlet, partly or 
wholly connate. 
A. Ovaries glabrous, connate about one-half; leaves elliptic to lanceo- 
late, 3-12 cm. long. 
B. Branches with reflexed bristles; leaves usually appressed setose 
on both sides, oblong -lanceolate to narrow lanceolate, acumi- 
nate, 5-12 cm. long; corolla usually pilose outside. 
38. L. Standishii, Carr. 
BB. Branches glabrous; leaves 3-6 cm. long. 
C. Leaves elliptic to oval, acute, glabrous, except the ciliate 
margin; corolla glabrous outside. 
39. L. fragrantissima, Lindl. & Paxt. 
CC. Leaves elliptic to ovate-elliptic, acuminate, finely grayish- 
pubescent beneath, ciliate; flowers unknown. 
40. L. phyllocarpa, Maxim. 
AA. Ovaries setose, almost wholly connate; leaves broadly obovate or 
broadly oval, obtuse and mucronate, 1.5-2 cm. long; flowers un- 
known. 41. L. mucronata, Rehd.
