SYNOPSIS OF THE GENUS LONICERA. 89 
var. hirtipes, var. nov. 
L. hirtipes, Bunge, mscr., ex Wolf, Isv. St. Peterb. Lesn. Inst. 
8311. pl. 77. f. 4 (1898). 
L. hispidissima, Regel, ex Wolf., 1. c. 
Alatau Mtns.: ‘‘ Almatinka pr. Wernoje’’ (Regel); 
Saravshan ‘* Tak-Fon’’ (Komarov). 
I have not seen Bunge’s specimen, but Wolf’s figure and 
Komarov’s specimen, determined as L. hirtipes probably 
after comparison with the type, leave hardly any doubt 
about this form, which certainly does not belong to L. his- 
pida where Wolf places it, since the shape of its winter 
buds and other characters do not agree with that species 
but very well with Z. Altmannii. 
BB. Branchlets and petioles puberulous and sparingly hirsute, often 
glandular; leaves sparingly pilose above and sparingly pilose 
and sometimes puberulous on the veins beneath or almost gla- 
brous, ovate or oval, 2-4 cm. long; corolla sparingly pilose or 
glabrous; ovaries glabrous. 
var. pilosiuscula, var. nov. 
Alatau Mtns.: ‘* Nebenschlucht Kisskensen am Talgar ”’ 
‘¢ Kendyr-aus 1880’’ (Regel), ‘‘ Naryn minor’’, ‘FI. 
Kurmekty ”? «* Mt. Alexander ’’ (Fetissow); Saravshan: 
‘¢Ch-schartol’’, «* Revat’’ (Komarov). — Rarely culti- 
vated (Arnold Arboretum, etc.). 
Regel’s specimen from Kendyr-aus differs in its narrower, 
more acute or even shortly acuminate leaves. 
To this variety belong the plants in cultivation which 
were received at the Arnold Arboretum under the names 
L. Alimanniit and L. tenuiflora from Mr. M. L. de Vil- 
morin of Paris and Mr. J. Kesselring of St. Petersburg. 
The plants received as L. denuiflora differ slightly by 
slenderer arching branches and the somewhat more glaucous 
under side of the leaves; they have not yet flowered.
