SYNOPSIS OF THE GENUS LONICERA. 193 
later authors belongs to Z. Jtalica and also Periclymenum 
Americanum, Miller and L. grata, Aiton can hardly be 
referred to any other species, though the descriptions of 
these species are rather short and the statement that the 
species is an American one would not be in favor of this 
identification. Miller, however, was not sure of the 
origin of this plant and says cautiously ‘+ it is supposed to 
grow naturally in North America.’’ Pursh seems to have 
been the first botanist who found the plant he supposed to 
be the Z. grata of Aiton in North America. As he quotes 
Hort. Angl. 15,no. 10, t. 8, which certainly belongs to L. 
Italica, as an illustration of his Caprifolium gratum, there 
can be little doubt that his plant was Z. Jtalica escaped 
from cultivation. There has never been found in North 
America a plant undoubtedly native which could be 
referred to Z. grata Ait., and therefore this species is now 
omitted from the more recent works on American plants 
or referred to LZ. Caprifolium as a naturalized plant.
