SYNOPSIS OF THE GENUS LONICERA. 83 
Caprifolium splendidum, hort,, ex Zabel in Beissner, Schelle & Zabel, 
Handb. Laubholz-Ben, 461 (1903), 
Introduced from China, but known only in the culti- 
vated state (Arnold Arboretum, etc.).

(1859); Bull. Acad. Sci. St. Pétersb. 24: 46; Mél. 
Biol. 10: 71 (1877), as to the fruiting plant. 
Caprifolium phyllocarpum, Kuntze, Rev. Gen. Pl. 1 274 (1891). 
North China (Tatarinow! ). 
This species is known only from specimens collected 
by Dr. Tatarmow near Pekin. Flowermg specimens from 
the same region referred afterwards by Maximowicz to 
this species do not belong here, but constitute an ap- 
parently new species, L. Pekinensis, which is closely 
allied to L. Infundibulum and easily distinguished from 
L. phyllocarpa even without flowers by the distinct ovaries 
and the winter buds possessing several outer scales. 
The fruit of ZL. phyllocarpa is probably not black as de- 
scribed by Maximowicz, but seems to have been originally 
scarlet, darkened by drying. — Plate 11. 
41. L. mucronata, spec. nov. 
An apparently small, much-branched, upright shrub; 
branches slender, gray, finely pubescent when young and 
furnished with reflexed setose hairs; winter buds small 
with two outer scales; leaves broadly obovate to broadly 
oval, 1.5-2 cm. long, obtuse and mucronate, rounded or 
narrowed at the base into a slender hirsute petiole about 
2 mm. long, leathery, slightly recurved at the margin, 
glabrous and bright green above, glaucescent, reticulate 
and sparingly appressed-pilose beneath, ciliate, with 2-5 
pairs of lateral veins; fruits very short-peduncled, sub- 
globose, consisting of two almost wholly connate ovaries, 
about 8 mm. in diameter, with 5-10 seeds; bracts subu- 
late, pubescent, about half as long as the fruit; bractlets
