Moist rocky woodlands, Pennsylvania (DarZmgtow /) to Western Louisi- 

 ana, Dr. Hale.' "Mountains, New York to Carolina," Fursh. May. — 

 "Stem 10 to 15 or 20 feet long, twining, or trailing unless supported; the 

 young branches often quite pilose." Darlington. Leaves about 2 inches 

 long, very obtuse, or with a short blunt point. Flowers about 6 in each 

 whorl, very fragrant: the smooth corolla an inch and a half long, exteraally 

 red or purplish T the limb (large) at first nearly white, soon turning to tawny 

 yellow. Stamens exserted. Berries orange-red. — Very near tlie cultivated 

 L. Caprifolium. 



5. L. alhiflora: twining or trailing; leaves (small and rather crowded) 

 ovate, glabrous, glaucous beneath; the upper pair connate-perfoliate ; the 

 others distinct, sessile ; flowers in small sessile heads; tube of the glabrous 

 corolla slender, not gibbous ; filaments glabrous. 



Prairies near Fort Towson, on the Arkansas, Dr. Leavemvorth ! — Climb- 

 ing over bushes and small trees. Leaves less than an inch long, rather rigid. 

 Corolla " white," about three-fourths of an inch long ; the lower lip oblong, 

 scarcely half the length of tlie slender tube. Stamens somewhat exserted. — 

 Apparently a very distinct species : the corolla, in shape, resembles that of 

 L. grata. 



6. L. jiava (Sims): glabrous and somewhat glaucous; stem scarcely 

 twining; leaves ovate, obovate, or oval, with a narrow cartilaginous margin ; 

 the upper pairs connate-perfoliate; the lowest distinct; flowers in small 

 heads or approximate whorls ; tube of the glabrous corolla slender, not gib- 

 bous ; filaments elabrous.— .Sims, hot. mag. t. 1318; Torr. fl. l.p. 243;

(8. more glaucous ; the lower leaves abruptly narrowed at the base ; tube 

 of the corolla rather shorter and stouter. 



Rocky banks of rivers, Cattskill Mountains, New York, Pursh ; and Paris

 j3. Banks of the Scioto above Columbus, Ohio, Mr. Sullivant! Milwaukie, 

 Wisconsin, Mr. Lapliam ! June-July. — Leaves li to neariy 3 inches long, 

 very glabrous above, glaucous and often with an extremely minute and soft 

 whitish caducous pubescence beneath, obtuse, or with ablunt mucronate point. 

 Flowers 8-12, in a subsessile or somewhat pedunculate head, or sometimes 

 in two or three verticiliate clusters, fragrant. Corolla bright yellow, an inch 

 or rather jnore long (in /3. less than an inch) ; the tube much longer than the 

 somewhat ventricose limb, very slightly dilated near the base, but not gib- 

 bous ; the lower lip narrowly oblong ; the upper 4-lobed. Stamens ex- 



gerted. A beautiful species, which has long been cultivated in the European 



gardens. 



7. L. hirsnta (Eaton) : stem mostly twining ; leaves (pale green, not 

 shining) broadly oval, very veiny, ciliate, somewhat hairy above, softly vil- 

 lous beneath ; the upper pair connate-perfoliate, often nearly glabrous ; the 

 others frequently petioled ; peduncles mostly three together; the flowers in 

 approximate capitate whorls ; tube of the corolla viscid-pubescent, rather 

 slender 'sli'^htly gibbous at the base ; filaments sparsely hairy towards the 

 ha'^e.— Eaton! man. hot. ed. 3. j^. 341 ; Torr. ! fl. 1. p. 242 ; Bigel.fl. Bast,
