88 MISSOURI BOTANICAL GARDEN. 
Olgae, so that these three Loniceras, with ZL. bracteolaris, 
form a group of very closely allied species. LZ. tenuiflora 
appears not to be specifically different from typical L. 
Alimannii, since the distinguishing characters given by 
Regel are not even present in the type specimens which 
show a distinctly gibbous corolla and oblong anthers, but 
are not ‘‘tubo aequali, antheris latioribus quam latis.’’ * 
The following varieties can be distinguished :— 
A. Leaves villous or pilose above and pubescent or tomentose 
beneath. 
B. Leaves pubescent beneath, usually ovate, 2-4 cm. long; ovaries 
often pilose and glandular at the apex. 
Typical form. 
Alatau Mtns.: «* Chanachai’’! «« Fl. Koksu’’! « Juldus, 
Taldy’’, «* Fl. Sarybulak ’’, «* Bach Nilki, Kasch’’, «* Link. 
Naryn-Ufer’’ (Regel! ) 
BB. Leaves densely grayish tomentose beneath, 1.5-2.5 cm. long, 
broadly ovate to oval, often obtusish; ovaries glabrous; co- 
rolla only slightly pilose, or glabrous; branchlets finely 
pubescent, not or but sparingly hirsute, or glabrous. 
var. Saravshanica, var. nov. 
Saravshan (Komarov, Regel); W. Bokhara (Lipsky). 
This is a very distinct variety chiefly characterized by 
the dense grayish tomentum of the under side of the leaves 
and their smallness. As types of it I consider besides 
Lipsky’s specimens the following specimens of Komarov: 
‘¢ Kulu-Kolan ’’, ‘* Margusar-Kul’’, «‘ Kara Kul’’, « pr. 
pagum Schink’’, «* Pinchon, 1893’’. 
AA. Leaves hirsute or pilose on both sides or nearly glabrous. 
B. Branches and peticles densely setosely hispid; leaves hirsute on 
both sides, usually broadly ovate, 3-5 cm. long; ovaries often 
Pilose. 
* Probably a misprint for either “longioribus quam latis’’ or 
‘‘Jatioribus quam longis.’? Wolf, 1. c., translates it “ with broader 
anthers.’’
