20 NEW SYLVA. * 



doubled by me ; we had 7 sp, L. hirsuta^ 

 flava, parviflora, ciliosa, grata, douglasi ; 

 besides sempormrens, which is hardly of 

 this Genus, and I have added 8 sp. There are 

 also peculiar sp. in Origon of which I will add 

 one, thus 9 sp. 



224. C. HispiDULUM Lindl. hot. reg. 1761. 

 Hispid all over, stem weak prostrate, leaves 

 petiolate cordate ovate obtuse glaucous be- 

 neath, upper sessile ; umbel pedunc. stamens 

 exerted— found by Douglass in N. W. Amer- 

 ica, fl. red small scentless, umbels trifid, glo- 

 merules with 2 bracts. 



525. DISTEGIA Raf Lonicera and Xylos- 

 teon of Authors. Flowers geminate inclosed 

 within 2 large bracts calix entire. Corolla ur- 

 eeolate, base saccate swelled,' limb unequaly 5 

 fid. stam. 5 subequal style filiform declinate^ 

 stigma 2-3iobe, berry 2-31ocular, at maturity 

 subunilocular 1 or 2seeded. Habit of Xylos- 

 ieiim which differs by naked twin berries, corol 

 not swelled, stigma entire &c. This must at 

 any rate be a subgenus of it. Notwithstanding 

 the restoration of Caprifolium, Xylosteum, 

 Diervilla &c, these must again be revised. I 

 think that Lonicera must have at last 4 sub- 

 genera, and besides 3 N. G. out of Xylosteon. 



1. Caprifolium. Calix entire corolla bilabi- 

 ate 1-4, tube terete. 



2. Cypheola Raf.. diff. tube gibbose or swel- 

 led below, as in C. parviflorum, ellipticum, acu- 

 tifohum, hispid ulum 4'C. 



3. Kantemon Raf cal. 5dentate, cor. sub- 

 equal 5fid tube fusiform or clavate. C. sem- 

 pervirens, ciliosum, angustifolium &c, which 

 deserve to be a Genus ! the stigma is capitate, 

 berry 3 loc. cells 2 to 4 seeds.
