SYNOPSIS OF THE GENUS LONICERA. ate 
preceding species, but they are readily separated from L. 
subspicata by the glabrous inflorescence and by the broader 
leaves which do not present the marked contrast between 
the dark green glabrous upper side and the whitish tomen- 
tose under side which is characteristic of LZ. subspicata, 
but are pale bluish-green and pubescent on both sides.

Western North America. 
A very variable species of which the most extreme forms 
look very distinct, but they are so closely connected by 
intermediate forms that a specific separation seems hardly 
advisable. 
A. Leaves ovate, 2-3 cm. long, obtusish, chartaceous, pilose on both 
sides and ciliate, the uppermost connate or sometimes distinct; 
branchlets hirsute; whorls of flowers few, usually slender- 
peduncled, inflorescence glabrous or glandular, corolla hairy 
outside or glabrous. 
Typical form.

AA. Leaves ovate-oblong, 3-8 cm. long, usually acutish, somewhat 
coriaceous, usually glabrous above, often glabrous beneath or
