 L. albiflora, TORR. & GRAY. Wholly glabrous, or with minute soft pubescence, bushy, also 

 disposed to twine, 4 to 8 feet high : leaves oval, inch long, or little longer, glaucesceut both 

 sides, usually only uppermost pair connate into a disk and subtending the simple sessile

-) -i -i Tube of corolla only quarter-inch long, equalled by the limb, gibbous, more or less 

 hairy within : Pacitic species. 



L. hispidula, DOUGL. Bushy and sarmeutose, often feebly twining: leaves small (inch or 

 so in length, or the largest 2 inches), oval, or from orbicular to oblong, rounded at both 

 ends, or lower'and short-petioled ones sometimes subcordate, uppermost connate or occa- 

 sionally distinct : spikes slender, commonly paniculate, of few or several whorls of flowers : 

 corolla from pink to yellowish, barely half-inch long : filaments and especially style more 

 or less pubescent at base. Dougl. in Lintll. Bot. Reg. t. 1761 (the latter figured and pub- 

 lished the species as Caprifolium hispidultun) ; Gray, Proc. Am. Acad. viii. 627, & Bot. Calif. 

 i. 280. L. micropliylla, Hook. Fl. i. 283. Polymorphous species, of which the typical form 

 (var. Donqlasii, Gray, 1. c.) is hirsute or pubescent with spreading hairs, disposed to climb : 

 lower leaves mostly short-petioled and inclined to subcordate, not rarely a foliaceous stipule- 

 like appendage between the petioles on each side : inflorescence and pink corollas glabrous. 

 Wooded region of Brit. Columbia to Oregon, first coll. by Dotiylax. 



Var. Vacillans, GRAY, 1. c. Stem and leaves either glabrous or pubescent, with or 

 without hirsute hairs : inflorescence and corollas pubescent or glandular, varying to glabrous : 

 otherwise like the Oregon type. L. Californica, Torr. & Gray, Fl. ii. 7 ; Beirth. PI.

Var. Sllbspicata, GRAY, 1. c. Bushy, more or less pubescent or glandular-pubescent

 uppermost commonly distinct: stipule-like appendages rare. L. subspicata, Hook. & Aru. 

 Bot. Beech. 349; Torr. & Gray, 1. c. ; Torr. Bot. Mex. Bound. 71, t. 29. Common in 

 California, from Monterey to San Diego. 



Var. interrupta, GRAY, 1. c. Like the preceding, or sometimes larger-leaved and 

 more sarmentose, but glabrous or minutely puberuleut, more glaucous : spikes commonly 

 elongated, of numerous capitellate whorls: corolla perfectly glabrous, pinkish or yellow- 

 ish, less hairy inside. L. iiifn-ritpfu, Bcuth. PI. Hartw. 313. Common in California: also 

 Santa Cataliua Mountains, Arizona, Pringle, Lemmon. 



8. DIERVlLLA, Tourn. Busn HONEYSUCKLE. (Dr. Dicrville took 

 the original species from Canada to Tournefort in the year 1708.) --Low shrubs 

 (of Atlantic N. America, Japan, and China) ; with scaly luids, simply serrate 

 membranaceous leaves, and flowers in terminal or upper axillary naked cymes, 

 produced in early summer. - - The E. Asian species, Weiffela, Thunb. (of which 

 D. Japonica is common in cultivation), have ampliate and mostly rose-colored 

 corollas, herbaceous calyx-lobes deciduous from the beak of the fruit, and reticu- 

 late-winged seeds. Ours have small and narrow-funnelform corollas, of honey- 

 yellow color, thin-walled capsule, and close coat to the seed, the surface minutely 

 reticulated; herbage nearly glabrous. Torr. & Gray, Fl. ii. 10. 



D. trifida, M<KNCH. Branchlets nearly terete ; leaves ovate-oblong, acuminate, distinctly 

 petioled : axillary peduncles more commonly 3-flowered : limb of the corolla nearly equal-
