8 CAPRIFOLIACE^. Lonicera. 



flowers in rather distant whorls ; the peduncle and rachis clothed with gland- 

 ular and hispid hairs intermixed; tube of the corolla conspicuously gibbous, 

 sparsely hairy, not longer than the deeply bilabiate limb; filaments some- 

 what hairy towards the base, exserted. — L. ciliosa, Hook, c^ Am. hot.

 Monterey, California, Capt. Beechey ; and at St. Francisco ? Douslas ! — 

 Leaves somewhat coriaceous, very pale or glaucous beneath, about 2 inches 

 long ; the lower ones obtuse at the base ; the slight petioles furnished with 

 stipuliform appendages. Corolla (including the limb) scarcely more than half 

 an inch long, apparently pale ^^ellow ; the short tube with a prominent gib- 

 bosity on one side ; lower lip linear, the upper with 4 very short rounded 

 lobes. Ovaries glandular ; the calyx-teeth inconspicuous. — AVe have not 

 seen the specimens of the plant collected during Capt. Beechey's voyage, in 

 which the younger branches are said to be hairy along one side : in our 

 specimen from Douglas's Californian collection, the branches are glabrous ; 

 but the peduncles, &c. densely glandular and somewhat hirsute. It is cer- 

 tainly quite ditferent from the Caprifolium ciliosum of Pursh, and from any 

 other North American species. 



10. L. hispidula (Dougl. mss.) : stem slender, twining or trailing, hirsute 

 or pilose-hispid ; leaves rather rigid, ovate or cordate, obtuse, glaucous be- 

 neath, and villous-hirsute ; the lower ones petioled ; the uppermost some- 

 times connate-perfoliate ; heads or whorls on slender peduncles ; corolla 

 nearly glabrous ; the upper lip shorter than the gibbous tube ; filaments 

 slightly hairy below, exserted. — L. microphylla. Hook. fl. Bor.-Am. 1. p.

Woods and rocky places, Oregon; on Mount Hood, and at the Grand Ra- 

 pids of the Oregon, at ' Oak Point,' &c. Douglas. ' Oak Point,' on the Ore- 

 gon near the Sea, Nuttcdl ! — A small mostly trailing shrub, pubescent with 

 slender scattered hairs. Leaves 6 to 10 lines, or sometimes an inch in 

 length ; the upper surface glabrous, and the one or two upper pairs often con- 

 nate-perfoliate, in the cultivated plant. Flowers small, rose-color, nearly 

 scentless. Corolla about half an inch long. Ovary glabrous. Calyx-teeth 

 minute. — Acct^rding to the description and figure in the Botanical Register, 

 the tube of the corolla is twice the length of the'hmb; but in our specimen 

 (from the Horticultural Society's Garden) the linear lower lip of the corolla 

 is quite as long as the tube. In the wild plant, the leaves are about three- 

 fourths of an inch in length, according to Mr. Nuttall; but the upper ones 

 often smaller. 



11. L. suhspicata (Hook. & Arn.) : erect and much branched; the 

 branches, lower surface of the leaves, and corolla pubescent ; leaves (small) 

 all distinct, elliptical or oblong, obtuse, coriaceous, shining above, paler be- 

 neath, on very short petioles ; spikes few-flowered, bracteate ; corolla bUa- 

 biate; 'one lip 2-, the other 3-cleft.' — Hook. S,- Arn. hot. Beechey, suppU 

 2J. 349. 



California, I>oi/ir/«s. Bushy hills near St. Barhara, Nuttall. — "An erect 

 bush, about 3 feet high ; with glandularly pubescent leaves, small pale pink 

 flowers, and a minute calyx.'" Nuit. ;«5S.— Leaves about an inch long, 

 passing into opposite remote pairs of bracts, having in their axils lesser 

 bracteas, which bear the flowers solitary or in pairs. Corolla not half an 

 inch long. The aspect different from any other Lonicera. Hook. S^- Arn. 



§2. Leaves never connate : jJeduyicles a.nllary, 2-i-hracteate and 2- {rarely 

 3-) flowered at the summit : berries geminate, distinct or often united, 2-3- 

 celled; the limb of the calyx deciduous. — Xylosteo', Juss.
