the base of the germs on one side, Calyx, there is no other 
perianth of the fruit than the above-mentioned bracte; that

from Geertner’s Lonicera zeylanica in not Eiea calyx 
of the fruit, and in having only five parts in the corol ; but 
in the racemes they agree. I cannot Feroncile it with L. fal- 
all parasitic Socio It i is probable that all the names here cited
